I dont really want to create any argument here, I just dont think Arch Enemy is that varied and I'm really broadcasting my own take on what they do, not anyone elses here, everyone else I know loves this album.

However,

Angela is the vocalist in Arch Enemy, she is female.

Angela does what she does best, on every album so far, with no variation or deviation at all.

Its not that its not good, thats not what irritates me, I cant really argue that it isnt without some technical merit and some of the stuff is quite catchy. Its just that Arch Enemy havent changed anything, this is borderline Arch Enemy and I think its getting rather tedious now.

Also, I cant help but wonder if they would actually be famous if she wasnt female, if it was a male growler doing what she does, in the same band, with the same range, people would just be labeling them as another melodic death band, do you not think?

I'm not sexist, I just think that this is a classic case of getting famous on who you are, not how good you are at it.
