So I’ve been looking for someone who posted about this. I’ve set out to listen to every album that makes its way into the top 10 on RYM, Best Ever Albums, and AOTY.org. This album is currently 3 on RYM so I’ve been listening to it. It’s the first Metal album and I have no experience with the genre. I think it’s pretty solid and I enjoy the drums and heavy riffs a lot, but I also think the songs are all really similar (This is probably just me not understanding what I’m listening to).
I’m wondering what you think of this album since I assume you have a better understanding of metal than me. What is it you appreciate about this? Is this a great metal album or just solid? What separates great from solid in metal?
As much as I loved And Oceans and Havoc Unit, I am so happy that they returned to Festerday. This album is just fantastic.
