Obviously these two songs are the 'radio-friendly' songs from their new album, making it a bit too early to judge. But it just seems a bit meh, and I can't be the only one that thinks the solo in 'Riot' is terrible >.> You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I liked Gitarrero's comments, and that's the reason why I don't add shred solos into my band's songs! Alternative Rock Songs + Shred Solo aren't a cool combination... at least for me.

Not to sound like one of those fans that always say, "the first album was the best" but really, The Poison was the album that brought me to the metalcore style that I love today. When they were recording this album I read an interview somewhere that had either Matt or Moose saying that this album was far more like The Poison than Scream Aim Fire or Fever. Now that being said it's not what I was expecting but it's not bad. It's far more simplified but I guess it's catchy. A big problem I think with these two songs are how they were recorded. Matt got the guys to record it like he recorded the Axewound album. No prewritten material. They just got into the studio and jammed. While thats not bad I don't think it allowed them to be as technical and in your face as they usually are. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Next, the music, as always, catchy, super catchy. But, less complicated, less METALCORE... and most importantly... No screaming what happened ??? But, the chorus of temper temper was awesome, and stuck in my head And, I heard it for the second time today. But, no solo... Next, Riot, not really a good song, but, had a solo which was OK OK.. I guess But, disappointing. As a die-hard hardcore fan considering Matt Tuck ''one of the awesome 4 look upto him as a semi-god fanboy (the other 3 being Dave Mustaine ((THE GOD ) Alexi Laiho, and our very own Cosmin Lupu '' I am really disappointed. I mean, no screaming and no solos.... come on, thats nothing like The Poison. Maybe, Matt is too much on getting that 'We're a hard rock band with Metal influences' thing. They better get the metalcore back in the act, or, guess we have another Linkin Park coming up Seriously, bands should stop thinking about impressing the mainstream, because for them, there's not much difference between Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, if any. (That's what my friends say, when I am listening to either Bullet or Welcome to the Jungle, they think its the same song ) So, the bands should think of their 'Real' fans, instead of getting a new fan base.

Bad idea Matt I here, against everyone am letting mine hair grow, and one of my hair idols gets his cut great.... what could be better QUOTE (Gitarrero @ Jan 16 2013, 11:48 PM) +1 I could only watch the second video (copyright issues in Germany -.- ) and I thought it was awfull.

While thats not bad I don't think it allowed them to be as technical and in your face as they usually are. Nice post Trey. I think all three of their albums had their 'own' character in them, even though they said Fever will be similar to The Poison, it was still, Fever I really love The Poison and think its a classic. The screaming, dual guitar play and solos between Matt and Padge, just love it all And, it would have been way better if he got them record with pre-written material and if more work was put in. I mean, come on, riffs you expect would be harmonized in a Bullet song were not Really disappointing You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But I thought they sounded I little bit different to this! Didn't really like Riot. (Gema says im not allowed to watch the other vid) Not really up my alley. It kinda sounds theve lost their direction a little bit though. and that solo just doesn't fit in my opinion. May have to look into their back catalog, as every one seems a little disapointed of the new stuff You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Maybe they are going to push for more Radio play? Guitars sound and overall sound seems much less polished than before, but maybe they want the "Garage Vibe?", Maybe they wish they were Green Day?

I know it's different from their original style that they usually play, but I like it! That kinda soloing is what I'm into so that's probably why, idk...

I generally have only ever heard that phrase when people use it to mock someone who's lost their temper, always in a camp, feminine voice.. just imagine Graham Norton or Alan Carr saying it and you get the idea.. They may as well have called it 'Ooh, get you, sister' or 'I've broken a fingernail !' Can't believe that I haven't seen one person anywhere on any social media who's mocked that title yet..
