it was my introduction to them but I aborted mission about halfway through

it wasnt too bad though

I liked the use of keyboards in this genre

Why did you stop? What didn't you like? :)

offhand the vocals were a little monotone for me

of this general style I prefer the new Killswitch Engage

>>65245375
Ah, I understand
Sam doesn't show too much range in his vocals
If you stopped halfway through you missed one of the best songs though, Memento Mori ;)
I haven't heard the new Killswitch Engage yet, I'll give them a listen :)

bump, curious about more opinions

Same shit they've been pumping out for three records now. It's not terrible but they really need to mix it up or do something a little more like any of their first three records instead of this sound they are stuck on. The first two tracks and the closer are killer though and if the whole record was of that caliber, it would be a nice companion to the first trio.

isn't that just a linkin park album with a hole in it?

as much as i enjoy it, i think they really need to switch something up if they ever want to make something better than hollow crown imo.
everything since has been not quite as interesting to me

Agreed hard. After that shit stain THaN they realized they fucked up and shat out a new record at lightning speed to remind people that they don't suck and since then, they've basically been on auto-pilot released the same record with slight variations (IE more atmospherics and keyboards each time)

Agreed, THaN was bad
I don't really see it as LF//LT 2.0 but some more experimenting would've been okay with me.
That being said, Nihilist and Memento Mori are absolutely amazing
