Their new album "The Powerless Rise" is just absolutely amazing and mindblowing in every sense of the word, I just love it. Yeah I know alot of so called true metalheads will dismiss AILD as another "trendy" metal band and that's fine with me, but these guys are getting the respect they deserve, and they sure do deserve every bit of it. I've been a fan of AILD for the past five years since I've first listened to both "Frail Words Collapse" and "Shadows Are Security". They're truly one of the best bands in modern metal today, and they just keep getting better and better with every album they put out, and this new album proves exactly that. "The Powerless Rise" is a blistering, savage, no holds barred metal thrillride of mad, thrashing guitars, relentless drums,...

I got into this band about a year ago, and have listened to their entire catalog nonstop. Anyone giving this album below 3 or 4 stars should just be ignored. I will say, this album does take more time to grow on you than their other albums. Oceans Between Us I felt like was amazing the first listen and still is. This album, as another reviewer mentioned, came off as "dry" to me the first time through. The music is much more complex though, and it took several listens for me to really take it all in. I can now listen to this album all the way through with more ease than almost any album I own. This was a 3 star album based on first impressions, but after listening regularly for a few months it is now without a doubt a 5 star album. Give it time. |
