ReviewsRolling Stone (No. 967, p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[T]his dense labyrinth of fleet-fingered guitar solos and punishing double-bass drum slavos will appeal to metalheads who are already predisposed to [the band's] Eighties grind..." CMJ (p.22) - "The album blooms with galloping solos, ripping guitar leads and Brian Fair's dual-pronged vocal attack..."
Additional informationLike the heavy-rock giant Metallica, Shadows Fall climbed the ladder of success by proving its mettle in a live setting, out-performing and out-selling all comers on the second stage at the 2003 Ozzfest. The two groups share sonic similarities as well, and fans of pre-Bob Rock-era Metallica albums RIDE THE LIGHTNING and MASTER OF PUPPETS, in particular, will find a lot to like here. Shadows Fall plays fairly straight-ahead old-school thrash, with a nod to the death-metal-influenced hybrid popularized by Pantera. The guitars and drums are huge, clean, and inhumanly tight, and low-ender Paul Romanko has a good handle on the Cliff Burton style of cutting delicate, melodic interludes with crushing bass riffs (particularly on "What Drives the Weak"). The production on both the electric/screaming sections and the acoustic/crooning passages is crisp and warm, emphasizing the band's enviable chops. Unlike many metal singers, vocalist Brian Fair is equally adept at throat-shredding and melodic singing, which affords the group a winningly dynamic palette.
