Have you heard the new Within Temptation album Hydra?

[Puffnstuff]

I've been a big fan of WT for many years however their new release Hydra has left me very disappointed. First of all there's blatant profanity from a guest rapper who shouldn't even be allowed to attempt to sing any symphonic metal song of any kind for any artist. Then the material isn't really what I would call symphonic metal but rather pop rock. I couldn't even listen to the entire album and had to break away from it. I instead listened to their previous release The Unforgiving to remind myself of how they used to sound.

I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with this release but imho they need to back away from it most ricky tick and go back in the other direction.
