Bullet for My Valentines new album is finally out and in all honesty it has felt like an eternity for this album to be released! Being the hard rock fan that I am I had to get the album and get it I did!

I’m going to get the negatives out the way first, this album is not as good as the poison. I know that Matt Tuck had some issues with his vocal cords recently and as such they can’t perform the way they used to but as my brother pointed out, its sounds like they trying to emulate Trivium. This is by no means a bad thing but I liked B4MV’s style on the previous album. This albums feels like its aimed at the younger teen crowd. This album also has heavy underlying political themes.

Onto the positives! The album starts off with “Scream Aim Fire” which I must admit is one of their best ever songs. As in traditional B4MV styles the riffs are fast and intricate and generally sound awesome. Matt’s voice isn’t as heavy as it was but it still sounds brilliant, Padge and Jay support with great backing vocals covering the heavier vocal parts. “Hearts burst into Fire” is type of track you can except throughout this album, its catchy but at the sametime seems a little poppy.

Personally the 3 best tracks on this album are Scream Aim Fire, Hearts Burst into Fire and Say Goodnight. All in all, it is a nice addition to my collection and I’m really enjoying it. Now I just need to wait a few months for the Disturbed and Metallica albums.
