now that it's leaked. what do you all think? definitely not the Atreyu of "old", here. Definitely more rock feel to it than the "metal" they used to have. Not as much screaming, but it's still there. I love it and I'm only to track 6 of 11. My favorites are: Becoming The Bull, Can't Happen Here, and Lose It. Lose It is just so many things of awesome. I love that song.
I liked Suicide Notes, but since then, it's been going downhill, and I think this new record is complete garbage.
Got single written all over it, never really been a big fan of the band I've liked the odd single they've released but to me this album sounds like a heavy version of papa roach in places *prepares to be flamed*
Anyways, the album is really growing on me. But with the way I got the album and how the songs are misordered, I won't make a true statement until I get a better and proper rip.
listening to it now, im on song 5 and i love every song so far..this is the first Atreyu album ive ever loved lol, the others one to me were...meh
I can see why some Atreyu fans would be pissed off over this album, considering the lack of screaming and increased melodic parts, but luckily this change in sound suits my tastes.
Personally, I agree with you. The sound change is great. Sure, it's a more mainstream rock sound but it definitely suits them and there's no lack of heaviness when they play the songs live. (I've seen Doomsday, Becoming the Bull, and Can't Happen Here) With that said, I love the direction they took on this album and on the last one, it makes the CD easier to listen to constantly. My Favorite Tracks: Falling Down, Can't Happen Here, and Becoming the Bull
no, it just reminds me of the transition from Waking the Fallen to City of Evil...except I think A7X still has a lot more musicianship than Atreyu...
A proper rip has leaked...with the addition of an untitled bonus track on it. EDIT: Which is a cover of "Epic" by Faith No More.
