This is such a typical Arch Enemy album that it failed to inspire anything in me. It's nothing new and they're sounding old, when I compare this to "Wages Of Sin" it's the same thing essentially, a few half memorable tracks and the rest just uneventful.

Nah, I dont mind Arch Enemy, but its just the same old, people worship Angela because of who she is, not what she does. My mate was going on about how epic this album was, so I got it and was sadly disappointed as I suspected I might be. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

My mate was going on about how epic this album was, so I got it and was sadly disappointed as I suspected I might be. Well, i wouldnt call this album Epic, its not that style at all, And if you look at "Who Angela Gossow Is" and "What Angela Gossow Does" they can be viewed as the same or close to it. Like... Angela Gossow is a death metal vocalist for Arch Enemy, thats who she is Angela Gossow sings for a death metal band, Thats what she does Maybe thats where there going, But if there "Worshiping" her for just being in Arch Enemy, thats a different thing, if they dont appreciate her skills and unique stlye of growling (My Oppinion) or her lyrical abilities, i dont see a reason for them to 'worship' her. But thankfully to me, she has an amazing voice and is a great songwriter! Oh and dont let other people ruin the album for you, if they bantering on about it for reasons you find stupid, just ignore it, try to give it another listen, but put any preconceived judgements aside, maybe youll find it more enjoyable.

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. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Pretty much same thing all round, same as the last 3 albums. But yeah I like it anyway! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

This album feels different to me, Christopher is back in, the atmosphere just felt reenergized to me, Either way, its all oppinion, if you enjoy the album crank it up high!!

I 'like' arch enemy but i don't think i could really call myself a fan. I like songs from them but not whole albums really. The guitar playing does impress me and if it's just as good or even better on this album maybe i should buy it. And i find Angelas voice a bit dodgey at times but we'll see maybe i'll listen to a few songs first You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Nah man, I've just given it a listen, she's screaming onto pitch, not clean vocals at all. Out of interest has anyone heard any of the old AE stuff with Johan Liiva? I think it is far better than the modern day stuff. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The sound became different when Angela joined, main reason why I never grassped the new AE. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It doesnt rely on overly processed vocals at all and its just so much stronger and rawer, Liiva himself has stated actually; "being replaced by a vocalist that is both mediocre and self-confident at the same time just doesn´t make sense to me" Maybe thats arrogant, but I see the truth in that.

But it lacked depth to me, when angel joined and started writing lyrics, i thought it progressed amazingly, although some of AE's coolest riffs are there firsts, like "Bury Me An Angel", classic stuff right there!
