I really gave it a chance. I really did. It just has WAY TOO MUCH Metallica syndrome. That's when they repeat a riff/part of a song way too long and it gets really boring. The only track I love are Blackened, One and AJFA, but Metallica syndrome is present in AJFA and Blackened as well. When I first heard Blackened I played the first 1:10 over and over it was so good. The opening, the main riff. Too good. Then, it got to 2:35. God damn I hate that part of the song and play it forever. It's so damn boring. I was pumped up, then I'm like "Is this ****ing song ever going to end" It felt like 10 minutes long. If you really want I can give you more instances of Metallica syndrome. It's also on the earlier albums, but acceptable to a certain extent. Maybe "hate" wasn't the right word. More like it's Ok, but I don't think it's anywhere near as good as I make it out to be. Also, thy seem to add extra unnecessary part to the song to make it longer. I'm looking at you Shortest Straw.
