Okay so after finally hearing Billy Talent's newest album I was suitably impressed and so decided to check out some of the back catalogue starting with the previous album. Upon listening to this back it quickly became apparent that this album is in stark contrast to the newest album. Thankfully what still is very much in evidence is the precious talents of the guitarist who endlessly delivers brilliant riff after riff. There are 13 tracks on this album and one of the standouts to the album is the excellent Pins and Needles a tale of not keeping hold of the one you love and is perhaps the slowest and most mellow of the songs on offer. The other big ...  Read the complete review

Im afraid im alone in my opinions of Billy Talent amongst most of my friends, but i just think this album is so amazing! The guitar work really is inspiring - just listening to 'Devil in a Midnight Mass' im compelled to stand up and start thrashing my head around! All the other tracks are great as well, each displaying individual musical and lyrical quality and flair. Unfortunately, many albums out there tend to blend into one messy filler - not this one! There is undeniable variety across the track list and, although their themes may be largely reminiscent, again the guitar work never fails to impress anew. Although many people I know seem to find the vocal style ...  Read the complete review
