Advantages: Falling Down, Doomsday, Becoming The Bull

Disadvantages: Terrible lyrics, mediocre music

I have been an atreyu fan since i bought there first album many years ago on a recomondation from a mate. I was very excited about them bringing out new material however i was sorely disappointed. This album has some good songs on it eg Falling Down, Becoming The Bull and Doomsday, but it doesnt seem to me like they made this album because they wanted to more that they had to, it sounds to forced. Usually i don't mind a band changing their musical direction eg Papa Roach but in this case they should've listened to the " you can't fix something that aint broke" saying and stuck with the beautiful metalcore we all know and love.
Although most of the msuic on this album is bearable, the lyrics are absolutely shocking.
Personally i would like more screaming as atreyu had found the perfect balance between melody and screams its just a shame they couldn't carry on with that.
In my opinion atreyu would be better off if they hadn't moved onto a major label.

Summary: Unless you have more money than sense do not buy this album, or at least listen to it before buying.
