DaveR Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 One for the metal-heads out there... Has anyone else heard Bullet For My Valentine's new album, Fever? If the answer's no and you're into metal, you need to go buy it now! iTunes has it here. The intro to the first song sounds, to my ears at any rate, like an early-Metallica offering, which is high praise indeed! The whole album is ace, anyway: really heavy and with BFMV's unique sound - some entirely original but instantly recognisable riffs and lyrical styles. I love how they've stuck to what they do well rather than try to experiment and get it all wrong, which is the curse of so many bands. Anyway. My ten pence done. Anyone else got any opinions?

DaveR Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Bullet for my valentine really aren't metal in the true sense of the word I don't know how else you'd class them! I've got the album on right now. The ideal hangover cure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 They were always a messed up group of emo metal liked mostly by kids. I only ever liked one song and I can't remember which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Screamo, Emo, Metalcore - any number of crap made-up genres that make little sense. You should see the list of genres that is on my Media Player, it's rediculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 They were always a messed up group of emo metal liked mostly by kids. Perhaps true enough, but that doesn't mean the music's no good - just that so-called "rebellious" kids happen to buy the records. I think the sound, although recognisable, is a lot more mature now, to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 You should see the list of genres that is on my Media Player, it's rediculous. "Cabaret" "Christian Rap" "Country" "Folk" "Gospel" "Polka" "Showtunes" ...Have I missed any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveR Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 I like the idea of "Melodic Death Metal"... Sounds like a contradiction in terms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I like the idea of "Melodic Death Metal"... Sounds like a contradiction in terms! Some of it can be... but it's usually ruined as soon as the singing starts. IMO of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Some of it can be... but it's usually ruined as soon as the singing starts. IMO of course But its not as bad as the current trend in "Folk Metal", "Battle Metal" or "Viking Metal" bollocks that's been coming out of Europe for the last few years.

I think that was the first single release from the new album, although I'm only basing that on it's popularity on iTunes by comparison to the rest of the album. Good track, but the best one in my opinion (IMO?) is the opener - "Your betrayal" - simply for the intro. Awesome! Play it loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
