People with classical training will most definitely appreciate this.

As for the others: listen to the cd about 3 times, it’ll grow on you.

Pay attention to the breakdowns, the riffs and you won’t be sorry!

but you also should respect them at least as musicians.

i’d like to see you write an entire album with 1/8 of the talent they have.

and yes, he CAN scream well and growl well but those things don’t matter when they’re not mixed together correctly. Its like trying to make a cake with the freshest, most expensive ingredients and then overcooking it in the oven.

ps. These conversations arent going anywhere because everyone is saying the same thing: “Your review is crap” and “Protest the hero is the best band out there”. Its a complete waste of my time trying to defend my opinion because I’ll be just repeating myself. So I’m going to stop replying to similar comments but keep the comments coming because it’s doing the site some good

Also, if you go write a review about an album which you turn out to hate, I can just copy and paste all the comments up there onto your post because they can pretty much apply to ANY artist(s). These comments are just different people’s OPINIONS.

So, Instead of bashing the music, maybe take a little time to appreciate the musicianship and hardwork put into this album.

Otherwise go fuck yourself. The marketing is my work, the writing is Kevin. His review I called bad to his face but don’t be a douchebag nonetheless.

I quote:

“…and I guess I just appreciate good metal music.”

I’m sorry, what? I feel bad that you have a first page ranking on Google for this shit, a lot more readers than you deserve.

You said so yourself that you listened to this album many times before you appreciated these guys for their true talent. Not everyone’s got a radio station job that allows them to listen to music all day. Maybe I did underestimated these guys and should have paid more attention to their creative masterpiece. But this is a blog. Everything that is posted is just our opinion. Not facts. The music is posted. People can listen and judge for themselves.

PS. I’m glad that you are now dedicated to buying all the albums that I’m going to bash because at least now they’ll have someone appreciating their garbage.

Oh and don’t call me close-minded. You are the bigot here.

There are more then a handful of people disliking this record and you can’t expect a “casual listener” (e.g. everyone is a casual listener of something) to like something especially if they don’t like it right away.

He pointed out things he liked and just hated the singing more often then not. What’s wrong with that statement? If it’s not true then explain but you didn’t!

Don’t act like a obnoxious snobby music guy just because you may be part of a radio station. I don’t give a shit who you are but calling people noobs and bringing the topic of “catchy hooks” when the topic wasn’t brought up and we aren’t a fucking mainstream site so don’t bring up P. Diddy. Ass.

Closed minded fag. Someone with an open mind will understand that sometimes even GREAT music is not loved by everyone. It’s a matter of fact but don’t try to think you’re better then Kevin just because he doesn’t love the band you jack off to.

as for the first album and ep, more punky than this release.

each to their own tho.
