New Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn
 

Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn

I know Killswitch has been mentioned a few times here (though not so much lately), so I thought I'd link to the first single from their upcoming album. We need a little more metal on the board! \m/

The whole album has been leaked already. Search mIRC

I don't think it's as good as their last two albums.

there last album was crazy
there live set is crazy

i was very impressed by this album, i think howard did an amazing job

i've always liked killswitch engage. nice mixture of heaviness and melody

i try to avoid listening to leaks of albums that i really look forward. it's sweet to feel like a kid again when grabbing an album on its release date. also, as i learned from the leak of the audioslave album, a leaked version is sometimes of horrible quality.

that said, i'm not quite sold on the chorus of rose of sharyn... seems too "sing-along-y". sure, other killswitch tracks have distinct singable melodies, but they also have a seriousness and emotional weight that i don't hear in the new song. however, the other song i've heard with howard, when darkness falls, completely rocks.

I don't like Howard's version of "Fixation on the Darkness." I have heard the new song though, and it fucking rocks. I keep my eye out for the new album.

I was really looking forward to this album, but I think it's a huge let down.
It's just not very good at all. :(

ah yes. thanks for that detailed and well-reasoned review.

ha ha. I'll be looking forwad to your full review in weeks to come....
