Trivium- In The Court Of The Dragon (9/10)

 

I'm speechless. I'm a bit bored with loving Trivium this much (who am I kidding, I'm not!), but they just don't seem able to disappoint, even though at this point their albums follow a rather strict formula. The Sin And The Sentence, What The Dead Men Say and this album could all be one album, and I would never complain.

 

The best thing about it though is that they don't sound close to tiring out.

Avenged Sevenfold- Waking The Fallen (10/10)

 

One of the best metalcore albums ever released.

Shadows Fall- The War Within (8/10)

 

Immaculate playing. They remind me a lot of the best of Testament. Still not a huge fan of this bands vocals, it's the way they mix them. Aside from that, I am surprised this band wasn't bigger.

Strange you're not a big fan of their vocals. I think younger Matt Heafy has a lot in common vocally with Brian Fair. Shadows Fall did get kind of popular with that album. Maybe just a notch or two below where Killswitch was. Their next album was on a major label and while I think it was pretty good, they did try to be a little more commercial but the album didn't sell as good as the record company hoped. So, they started their own label after that and the marketing wasn't as strong.

The vocals are honestly fine, and I definitely think of early Trivium here. But the mixing of the vocals is rough, it sounds like someone forgot to master them.

 

But I am finding the playing so engaging. It's not the first time I've played this album, but I've been struck by just how great the music is.

 

Vocals deserved better production, but don't blame me I came to this band long after other bands in the genre. It likely sounded better in 2004.

 

Ghost Of Past Failures is my favourite song so far. I'm likely to replay this.
