Arch Enemy
Burning Bridges
[Century Media]
Totally an impulse buy. I hate the vocals, sort of rough and snarly, sung
in a normal voice. The lyrics suck as well. Man I don't need any deep
thoughts on human issues and delving into the inner self, fuck I've got
enough problems as it is already (Right Oskar!!! Women, life's boredom and
my own mortality...sigh).
I actually like the music which is done in a Carcass-y way and that could
be due to Michael Amott's tenure in the band. He is joined by his bro and
the two write some decent songs. Their technical ability is seriously
kickass. A deathlier vocalist would go a long way towards putting them over
the top. This will appeal to a lot of you out there but I need a wee bit
more brutality in my music.
