Killswitch.

Today, I GOT MY KILLSWITCH ENGAGE CD + DVD PACK! lol.

Had already listened to the songs in the album before it actually came out. The wonders of the internet. So here is my review.

If you're a KSE fan for the longest time, you'll probably like it, but not as much as the previous albums like The End Of Heartache, or maybe even Alive or Just Breathing.

With the highest expectations set up, especially after The End Of Heartache, it is really tough to fully appreciate this. They said this album would be different, even with Adam D being a co-producer instead of the producer, and venturing into a new sound. Well they did, and they did it pretty well.

If you're a first timer to KSE, listening to this record would probably make you drool. LOL.

I loved the songs in this latest album to a large extent, wishing that some songs had a bit more to it. But after listening to it a couple more times, I think it sounds good the way it is. Songs like Starting Over, Take Me Away, Save Me delivers what I loved about KSE. The romantic lyrics of falling in or out or even being in love. Yet with songs like The Reckoning, Never Again and The Forgotten, KSE shows their heavy impact. Though not up to their old standards, this album is pretty darn good.

It's been playing in my MP3 for more than a week now. LOL. I have yet to see the DVD and hear the 4 bonus tracks, which I will update later, but i'm really hoping for MORE ADAM D ANTICS. lol. A KSE DVD without him is like Chicken Rice without the chili sauce (I don't like it. LOL.), as seen in his disappearance at the 2007 Download Festival. LOL. their 2009 Download appearance was good by the way. LOL.

In all, I like this album. And it makes me happy. KSE FTW!
