I like my metal heavy, but...

Review Score: (8/10)
While I was a fan of albums like Draconian Times and Icon, I never thought that PL sounded too enthusiastic in that genre. Decent songs, but they would never stay in the CD player for long before I got tired of them. Although this CD may sound like a great departure from Draconian Times, I think this is where PL is more comfortable and it shows in the music. "Selling out" doesn't have to man going soft; it can also mean rehashing the same album ad nauseum to satisfy old fans who aren't able to deal with change.

...And to the guy who thought Amorphis' "Tuonela" was bad, I feel sorry for you. They worked very hard to produce a brilliant album, and because it's lacking, what, death vocals? you don't allow yourself to appreciate it.
