Killswitch Engage - Killswitch Engage (the new album)

Tweet

So now the album has been out for a couple of months, what did people think? It received generally mixed reviews from what I've read. To me, it sounded bland, boring and lacklustre - a band that seem to be happy sitting around churning out the same old thing. This just seems to be a collection of B sides from As Daylight Dies, in terms of quality...or an ADD vol.2. So overall, pretty disappointed. The mixing is poor too, although you can tell Adam D has had an influence on it because to me it just sounds iffy. Theres hardly any bass, for one thing. And it seems to be the same old chug chug squeal metalcore riffs that we've heard all the way back from End of Heartache. Opinions?
