I don’t love or hate deathcore and consider myself a Whitechapel fan. I thought their self-titled release was the best of their career…the song writing improved considerably and was better organized. The album had groove, heaviness, and some catchy riffs.

But they’ve really lost me with this latest album. The generic logo, the corny catchphrase (“the saw is the law!”), the hackneyed lyrics and album theme…. It’s like Whitechapel is less interested in music and more interested in developing a brand.

And the music falls flat for me personally on this one.

Great observation Andy- the lyrics are stepping back but the music is getting better.

It’s a good album, although I thought the self-titled was an overall better affair. But I do agree it’s nice to see a band generally maturing (something I think started with “A New Era of Corruption”), and producing some stand out songs. The lyrics do tend to come across as a little basic still though, something that’s probably enhanced by the fact that they’re clearly trying to develop musically… but not necessarily lyrically.
