As Daylight Dies (review)

Overall, the album is certainly a lot more accessible then previous efforts. Great guitars and as much singing as there was in The End Of Heartache, but the heavier parts I feel are heavier. I can't say I like it more than TEOH, but it's certainly a great album. The only critique I have is that a lot of the themes are over done. It just feels like I've heard that same part in a different song already.

1. As Daylight Dies. The title track. My favorite off the album. It's heavy and makes you want to rock out so hard. 5/5

2. This Is Absolution. Another rocker full of energy. The singing in the chorus is great too. 5/5

3. The Arms Of Sorrow. Mostly singing, but I like it. Definitely leaning towards emo though. 4/5

4. Unbroken. Back to screaming/singing that works so well for KsE. The singing feels majestic. 4/5

5. My Curse. One of my favorites off the album. Starts like its going to be mostly singing, but then rocks with a strong scream. The riff is pretty good, and the chorus makes you want to sing along. 5/5

6. For You. Great song again. Pretty heavy and fast at points. Singing/screaming is at a good mix. 4/5

7. Still Beats Your Name. Heavy at times, but the singing is boring. 3/5

8. Eye Of The Storm. Great opening riffing. Quick and right into some strong singing. It just continues to rock the whole way through. 5/5

9. Break The Silence. Killer riff during the verse and throughout the whole song actually. The chorus is but emo and soft, but the rest of the song makes up for it. 4/5

10. Desperate Times. Worst song on the album. It's just so slow. The riff probably would have sounded pretty cool sped up. The chorus is just boring as all else. This is where you feel like you heard it previously. 2/5

11. Reject Yourself. Pretty good closer to the album. Great fast parts during the verse and the chorus is another sing along. 4/5
