Echoing a comment above, I will thank you for this review in that it led me to track down the keyboard player’s naughty cell phone pics.

Good review. I liked the first two albums too, but this one just sounds like they ran out of ideas or something. There were a couple times (can’t remember the song names) where there were some guitar melodies that just sounded completely awful and unnatural. And yet, there were a few glimpses of greatness. I had high hopes for this one considering how most death-core bands are stepping up their game in 2009 but I guess WoP weren’t up to the challenge. :((((

Not sure why I need to chime in, since all you guys and gals have already said it, but this stuff is awful, Johnny Plague? come on they remind me of a cross between Avenged Sevenfold and Dimmu Borgir… Anyways, I think the image they project really hurts them and I hate to be so shallow, but you know sometimes I just cant get over it, get rid of that poser tough guy wanna be hip hop star singer and I might give them another chance and lose the stupid F’ing sideways cap.

I hate this band so much it’s unbelievable. They represent almost none of the qualities that attracted me to metal in the first place. I was in the front row when I saw them on the last night of Summer Slaughter. I put in my ear plugs and stared at the floor the whole time.

Haha she’s kinda skanky lookin though with a manish body.I’ll stick to my latina mamasita thank you kindly though.Good review,honest and to the point.This is a tough album for sure.It’ll be interesting to see what happens to all these trendy bands in a few years once the umpteenth breakdown has chugged the mobs brain to mulch and they start looking for something new.Hell,Attack!Attack! even changed their music video of Stick Stickly(oh dear god the humanity!!)due to metal forums getting hold of the original and laughing/spamming youtube till the took it down.Huh.All I can do is sigh in exhaustion over this tired heartless state of affairs.

Glad I read this review. I’ll totally never check out the band, but you can damn sure bet that I Googled that keyboard players topless pic as soon as I read the opening paragraph, and for that sir, I thank you.

Erik I enjoy your always thoughtful and well-written reviews of this stuff but all the same I’d rather eat a pound of sand then listen to this.
