Shadows Fall: Yay or Nay

[Oblivious Maximus]

I think this band has been on the receving end of some unfair criticism. I really don't know if I am a fan or not. The first 2 albums were good, but The Art of Balance was a dissapointment. But, from what I've heard off the new album, it dosen't sound too bad. They always choose the shittest song on the album as the single. Another thing, I don't think their mallcore, like a lot of people have called them.

Shadows Fall: yay or nay?

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Nay.

 

[Funeral Portrait]

I don't think people should be baggin on them so much, as they truly do NOT suck. However, I think they are nothing more than a decent band. Worthy enough of my $7.99 at Best Buy

EDIT: I mean yay.

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Nay.

 

[Erik]

Nay.

 

[SlaughterofSoul]

NAY If they got rid of the hardcore elements, and made some thrash albums, they'd be all right.

 

[Erik]

If they stopped playing, withdrew all their albums from stores and took up careers in the plumbing industry, they'd be cool in my book

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

I say yay and nay. They have some good songs, and some bad songs. And they should get rid of the harcore elements.

 

[J.]

Nay.

 

[no country for old wainds]

Nyah!!!

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Yay to the raging thrash monster that is "Fire In Babylon." Nay to everything else.

 

[Chasm]

I think Of One Blood is pretty good. It was really fresh sounding when it came out and there weren't 400 bands around that sounded just like them. I remember hearing it when it first came out and the vocals really reminded me alot of Belladonna's. I played it daily for about a month. It has a few memorable tracks but not much of it sticks with you for very long. I haven't really gotten around to checking out their last few albums.

 

[Life Sucks]

Nay. I don't own any of their CDs, but from what I have heard from them, they play pussified melodeath/metalcore.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Haha. Terrible band. Nay.

 

[chris-o-fer]

They are really decent musicians, but his clean vocals eat poo. so, yay and nay.

 

[Spirit In Black]

Solos are good, vocals are bad, riffs are mostly meh, drumming is nother special....their first cd was their best cause it was a little different....otherwise nay

 

[Slayed Necros]

No.

 

[Intoxicator]

Meh.

 

[5thSeason]

Previously "Yay"... but now they are a big "Nay". I like the first 3 shadows fall albums... nothing too amazing, but they were decent. I downloaded the new album a while ago... its pure garbage, horrible... horrible album. What sucks is, now that they have started to suck they are getting all these great reviews, and critics are calling them "the next metallica". if they are gonna be the next metallica they already have the sucking part down.

seriously tho... if there is any new american metal band that could become the next metallica it would be "Beyond The Embrace".

Damn, bunch of haters and perpetrators!

























I also say NAY, not to fond of them.
