    It feels like a missed opportunity. Just "Devil On My Shoulder", the middle section of "Saint Veronica" and "White Sparrows" got me, the rest seems just a bit forced and uninspired. A massive downgrade from their previouse album(s).

    When they stretch farthest away from their origins, as they do on the plodding power ballad 'Sudden Movements,' their sound takes a turn for the best.

    The intensity on Billy Talent III feels the same as the intensity of the band's live show, awkwardly forced and absolutely repellent.

    III is unspectacular, yet it’s laudable that Billy Talent’s chins to remain unencumbered by the ballbags of big business.
