This is a really good example of how the emphasis on clean singing in Trivium's last few albums is really a good thing. All the screaming here is reserved for the most aggressive lyrics in the song, which really gives it a greater impact than if there had been screaming all throughout.

Why do people ignore that bands like this write music they want to write? It'll always be Trivium because it's what they wanted, regardless of producer. Watch the documentary of this album. It gives good insight.

The vocal style is the only thing on the album that is influenced by the lead singer from Disturbed only because he produced the album. Truth is he made Matt a better singer and the album sounds excellent. Trivium and the production are great on this album period. ...now everyone calm down.

This is the theme song for the world today. Period.

I like that there isn't alot of screaming in this song. I think that it gives the lyrics he does scream more impact.

I wish more of the fan base could appreciate how far Matt’s singing ability has come. This is much better than the singing on Ascendancy, the one that gets all the hype. I mean don’t get me wrong, his singing is good there too, but it sounds more “teenager like” while here he just sounds epic and masculine imo. And instrumentally I feel like this album isn’t even that different from their earlier works, it’s still Trivium being themselves, they just tend to make each album with its own unique “feel” so that their discography doesn’t feel stale. There’s still plenty of riffage, groove, melody, and heart to be found on this album.

Saw Trivium at Hampton Beach, NH years ago. Although they didn't play this tune, which is my favorite by them, they were excellent live! In Waves was performed superbly! Definitely a great live band! I am astounded at the hangar they bought and renovated and wish more bands took initiative to recording their albums like they did! At least Obituary took note and it shows in their recordings!!

This is madness! So FUCKING awesome! (Personal opinion) This is Trivium's best album. Not because I'm a Disturbed fan boy, but because they reduced the screaming. Matt's voice when clean is awesome! And with David's help, (see the documentary) Matt improved his vocal talents and now he can sing like he never could before. Trivium is still the same badass it was before, with a small Disturbed nitro-injection.

Everyone needs to keep in mind Trivium is a young band... they're just now "pushing 30", so they are going to listen to the metal other kids these days listen to (Djent, etc.) and that's naturally going to rub off in their playing. They're also trying to get bigger and better as musicians, and so as time goes on every fan should've expected them to get a more "mainstream metal" sound (Killswitch, A7X, Disturbed, etc.) that is more polished and technical albeit formulaic and over-produced. If you want cutting edge metalcore, chances are you're not going to find it listening to the radio... the place Trivium was destined to wind up.

awesome solo

I dont care what other ppl said. I love this album

I feel bad for people who can't grow with a band. Do you want to stay the same forever? Do you really need screaming in EVERY line of a Trivium song? This band plays the music they are inspired to write and create. Don't diss the band you know you love.

No way. Badass teacher!
