Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Quintessential
One of the greatest slabs of metal ever produced. I have all of their previous releses, and was floored when I heard they were re-recording an amazing list of older material. Everyone in the band is firing on all pistons, and the production is OUT OF THIS WORLD! If you even have a passing interest in melodic death metal, you would be doing yourself a great disservice by not buying this album right now, and working your way back through their back catalogue.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic
This album is really a fantasitc listening experience, sonically brutal- and the excellent production is only equaled by the players performances.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - It's good!
I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews for this album, but I believe something different is at work here. Please read on.

I've been a fan of Arch Enemy since the Burning Bridges days. I caught their very first U.S. performance, which was in Waunakee, Wisconsin of all places (I figured they would start on the east coast and work their way west), opening for Nevermore on their Dreaming Neon Black tour.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - if this is the future of metal then i feel sorry for our youth!!
I was at Hot Topic the other day checking out the latest Jonas Brothers t-shirts and came across a couple CD's...the dude who worked their said if i liked good talented melodeath metal I should check this band out.

What a complete waste of time!! There were no chuga-chug riffs, no good emo vocals, and the song structures made no sense! Whatever hapened to the days of good metal??? Atreyu? Limp Bizkit? Jonas Brothers?

Avoid this junk and stick with good rock and metal: Limp Bizkit, ...



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic Arch Enemy, Revisited
I suppose most people know the history behind this release. Arch Enemy was always one of the better Swedish melodic death metal bands, but it wasn't until they hired a female vocalist (one Angela Gossow, a rarity in a male-dominated genre) that they really received mainstream attention. It didn't hurt that Gossow could belt out throat-shredding growls with the best of her male counterparts. Anyway, several albums into their career with Gossow, the band has decided to revisit some of the songs from the early ...
