Nov 12, 2013Spectacular lyrics, amazing riffs, and lots of things separates this band from the other cookie-cutter metalcore bands. Killswitch has always inspired me to do greater things.

May 17, 2013Usually I am the guy who is really strict on writing reviews, about games, movies, music, ext...
This album was an inspiration on me, mainly because when I wasn't feeling depressed, this album helped e out, and cheered me up.
Even though I was never really a fan of Jesse, this album makes me remember the times that I've been through. -

Dec 3, 2011Its actually pretty disapointing and not as good as their previous album (As Daylight Dies). The album is very short and is full of decent/bad songs that are no where near as good as their other songs. Overall, Its just a generic rock/metal album that was intended more for the radio then for anything else.
-
Nov 17, 2011When compared to the last 2 albums by the band, Its trash. Its really just another generic metal album that was aimed more towards being accepted by the masses instead of their dedicated fanbase (which caused their previous 2 albums to reach Gold status). I was really disapointed with this album and I wouldnt suggest this to anyone

Jun 4, 2011Killswitch Engage doesn't exceed As Daylight Dies in any way possible, but there are a few surprises (such as "The Return" and "Take Me Away") and some killer metal tracks that may keep fans satisfied.

JoeY.Aug 11, 2009Brilliant riffs, amazing catchy choruses, heavy breakdowns what more do you want? Check out their other albums too! They're the best metal band since Metallica!!

AriaAug 1, 2009This may not change any of my opinions of music or metal, but what it does do is deliver an enjoyable if not amazing performance by Killswitch Engage, and it should be regarded as one of the best metal albums released so far this year.

Where 2006's "As Daylight Dies" hinted at an accelerated focus on the more melodic aspects of extreme metal, Killswitch Engage cements the notion.

Alternative PressThis album isn't going to change the way you think about metal, but Killswitch Engange aren't Mastodon; they just want to get the pit going, and this album will surely acomplish that. [Aug 2009, p.108]

Aside from a few unique moments ("The Return," "Take Me Away"), there's not much new to report here.
