Dan G Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 A bit standard in my opinion. It's a catchy song but it's just pop metal as opposed to the brutal hardcore/thrash crossover that I loved about Alive or Just Breathing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laino86 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 yeah it may be good, but the brutalness has gone.unless its just a plot and other songs are brutal.the other song thats been released is a bit heavier its called reckoning.

medichi Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 They sound like Atreyu now. But more dull. Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setlightourchris Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 pretty boring to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I actually really like it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it musically or song-wise for me at all. Looking forward to the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sloth Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 they are getting worse...at least the earlier stuff had CHUNKY riffage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_1903 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 i like it, and it was really good live at download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I would like to be into killswitch but to be honest it's dull, uninspiring shite.I'm going to sound like I'm trapped in time but where are the exciting fresh metal bands these days? The buzz around fear factory, sepultura, pantera was massive! This is taking the piss.The last decent metal band I heard was scarve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 But Killswitch WERE fresh and exciting. 'Alive or just breathing' was massively original and unique when it came out 7 years ago. They're on their fifth album now, so it's not like they are a new metal band anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Lets be honest though, it was only a matter of time before the backlash from the sort of people who follow fads occurred. I'm surprised that it didn't happen on the last album in all honesty. It's not cool to like metalcore any more so why would the fair weather fans like the new album?I think Killswitch are consistently good and out of modern metalcore there aren't that many bands that come close to them. Yes, the video for the single is shit (I'm not sure i've ever seen a good Metallica video or metal video at all) and they're hardly groundbreaking these days, but the song is certainly not shit and the rest of the album is pretty damn good as well.

captain burrito Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 did you not watch the attack attack video? probably the best metal video i've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giles26 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Personally I find that this new album is correct but not really their best.The clip looks like a publicity for perfume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preid Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I found the track to be rather dissapointing.Id like to hear the bands thoughts on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medichi Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 New album is baaaaaaaaaallllllls. This is not a "backlash", this is a once great band turing to completely mediocre dogshit. TBH they actually haven't been that good since "Alive...." but I kept hoping they'd pick it up. Hog - decent new metal is pretty scarce IMHO also (although I too am old) - but I do like Suicide Silence, Skeletonwitch, Amon Amarth and Municpal Waste. New Lamb of God is ace too.

enrapturevox Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 they are getting worse...at least the earlier stuff had CHUNKY riffage.Spot on. Thats whats missing in the new stuff, good riffs that you'd want to learn how to play.bit of a shame. the live DVDs still a beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle_kingdom Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yeah, the songs on the album are nice and catchy but nothing that really jumps out and grabs you by the balls... like the first time i listened to 'Rose of Sharyn!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
