I found this album very interesting. It is a big change from the previous albums Ember To Inferno and Acsendancy. The best track on the album for me has to be '''The Rising''' It has a very big Metallica feel to it, and I love metallica. The whole idea of this album was infact to have a metallica feel to it. I find it a bit old now, for Bands trying to be Metallica, no-one will ever do it. But you do get the bands that are close, like Trivium.
'''The Rising''' has one mega riff in there that I would love to be able to play, it starts at 4:39 got the album listen to it, it is Immense. I Think the beat too is very sturdy and is one that will get you jumping. I have listened to this Live on youtube, I think it is played really well, Matt Heafy has a good strong voice.
Going onto another track with excellent vocals is '''This World Can’t Tear Us Apart''' I love this track, it has a brilliant rhythm but the vocals really stand out to me, the chorus is the best part. I can sort of hear a bit of Bullet For My Valentine in this track, but Bullet For My Valentine would have gotten some of their sound from Trivium. Bass line of this track is amazing, one I would deffinatley spend the time learning if I had the patience.
They are just two of the 13 tracks (16 if you have the bonus) off this album and they are brilliant now I'm going onto Track 13 the intstumental track '''The Crusade'''
'''The Crusade''' Is obviously the album title, it is a good 8 minuets long, but it is Brilliant, its not the type of instrumental most bands have which is all classical it is Thrash, metal and is totally amazing. It has a consistent beat to it, good strong pulse with amazing guitarring, which just fills me with jealousy each time I listen to this track because I long to play like that. Bass line is Incredible I personally think it is the making of the track, I love bass lines a lot, just listening to them alone makes me happy, but the bass line in this track really gets me going, if I were to go listen to this band live (Which I might be in march hopefully, fingers crossed) and they played this song, I would dive into a mosh pit like there was no tomorrow. This track truly is amazing for an 8 minuet long instrumental, I'm not one for long tracks but this one I could listen to repeatedly..
I deffinatley recommend this to anyone who loves Metallica and Bullet For My Valentine, well worth the time and Money, can be bought from Amazon for £4.98 If you haven’t got it, I’d get it because your missing out on what I like to call Pure Immense Incredible Awesomness…So what are you waiting for? Go get it!
So that’s my view on Trivium’s 3 album ==The Crusade== Whats yours?
Advantages: None. Disadvantages: boring songs, all sound the same
