 New songs, same riffs February 16, 2010
Boomienutcake (AZ)
I LOVE Killswitch, personally...but this album just doesn't do it for me as the last four albums did, not to mention a repeat in the name...as if to say, "Hey, this is Killswitch Engage...NOW." It really is a great album overall, but if you pick it apart, the mixing is TERRIBLE (vocals and guitars behind bass and, most of all, drums), and I found myself listening to the same song over and over again.
I DID enjoy it, and there are a few songs with GREAT hooks. I do think Howard could have sung more than four different notes on every single chorus, however.
Is Adam Dutkiewicz running out of fresh ideas? I think so.
 They WERE My Favorite Band......... February 3, 2010

No, they haven't gone soft. In fact, the album is full of riffs and screaming, but that was never what made KsE particularly appealing. Their insightful lyrics, commanding vocals, and catchy, but aggressive riffs made them a force to be reckoned with. However, this time around, they lack all of these elements. The hooks sound forced, the singing sounds weak, and the songwriting is just plain boring. Their last album wasn't too great, but this one is even worse, leaving me to believe that the heartache didn't end in 2004, but began sometime in 2006 and is only getting worse. Let's just hope that the final track "This Is Goodbye" is not just a song title, but a letter of resignation.
Nothing special February 1, 2010

Overall, these are reasonably well-done songs but nothing really stands out. There's a little more singing, as others have pointed out (which is good) but the album just seems a touch generic. I thnk their previous album had more character and was more interesting.
Not bad but not recommended.

I remember seeing KSE when they opened up for slayer a few years ago and they had a great catalog of music, too bad they have only added unintelligent garbage for the last few albums and this one continues the downward spiral. Save your time and go listen to something else. Just plain sad.
 Howard gets honest; Not the same Killswitch as before November 28, 2009
Daniel Nelms
Sure, this album isn't as heavy as some of their previous albums (I've been a fan since Alive or Just Breathing). Metal fans have a hard time seeing music as art. Has anyone noticed Howard's honesty within his lyrics? Killswitch began with positive lyrics, at times vaguely positive (seemingly for the sake of being positive). Yet this album Howard expresses himself, and it's often not positive, but kind of dark and dreary and revenge-themed. In terms of artistic value, Killswitch stepped it up a notch with this one.
I do appreciate their melodies, also. I love their classics like Son of Man, or Fixation on the Darkness. But they are actually good at melodies, while still retaining their metal side.
Let's not discredit them, but stay with them. I get bored with bands like Shadows Fall that continue to put out the same sounding music. I like this album; it's something new and creative.
But I will admit, I do wish there was a bit more metal. But nevertheless, I really love the album. Four stars!
