This album is the George Costanza of Trivium's back catalog. At first listen, I absolutely HATED In Waves, I thought it was a terribly weak attempt at writing another Ascendancy, really generic and tacky. And then I left this album alone, for months.

But then I listened to it a couple more times, at random times. And... it kinda got stuck in my head... Cah-stan-zah.

Well, some of the songs turns out be really good but overall the album is "not fucking awesome" which I was really looking forward for it. It was more of old Trivium I was listening....like " The Crusade" riffs, little bit contextual with "Ascendancy" vocals and lyrical theme was where I was really bored. It's a decent album with one time listen.

Ok, but srs ppl, getting butthurt over Trivium is like soooooooo 2006. They're declining in popularity, this album is getting mixed reviews from fans; they won't be around that much longer.

Oh, and lol at this review for Ascendancy- "Watch out for this band twenty years from now. They will be as influential to so many as bands like Sabbath, Slayer, and Metallica were before them."

Steve Harris likes his daughter's metal band. Enough said. He just "loves" them so he can hire them to perform before Maiden shows when touring, thus attracting younger fans to Iron Maiden. Hell, I'll love Slipknot if it gets some more money and more fans.

It's OK. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet but so far it's kinda boring to me compared to what I am used to from them.

I don't think younger fans need attracting to Maiden, they do a pretty good job of that by themselves (and the older generation playing the music to their kids)
As for Lauren Harris, I think there is an element of 'having' to like it there... she is his daughter afterall, I don't think he'd be inclined to say her bands shit even if he thought it haha. Plus her touring with Maiden meant that he got to spend some more time with her which was probably very nice for him.
Lots of people hate Trivium, Lots of people hate Maiden, Lots of people hate Metal. Opinions are very much like assholes - everybody's got one. Who's to say what's right. If you like it great, and if you don't, well that's just fine too.

Well, after hearing In Waves, I can tell that this album will be a complete piece of emo/core shit. If you like Oli Syke's sexy hair, than this will be the album for you. If you like metal, this will make you puke. And to think, Shogun was actually a decent album.

you're completely wrong i ve got it yeah a grey so dark and all of this yesterdays and watch the world burn are pretty hardcore but some songs like dusk dismantled ,a skyline severance and chaos reigns are METAL and i think that this album is unsane. shogun first of all its not decent its perfection, and this band has trash influencies (not in in waves but shogun and the crusade) so dont call this as metal for emo or whatever because there' s only metal not fake metal or true metal.
i dont give a fuck i love metal and this band.

Yes, my analysis based on the first song was wrong. The title track was easily the worst song, the rest of the album was pretty good. But quit trying so hard to be 'metal'.

dunno i like it . for me is awesome everyone can say his own opinion

Honestly after this album it feels that have taken a step back from their sound and even their looks. The newer stuff is very very over produced. I do miss their old stuff, I wish that someday they can start throwing in some of their older material....but by the looks of it that goal is far and beyond.

Honestly i think trivium are kickass, ive seen them live too, but i cant stand in waves, i mean i just cant get into it ae, and the fact that matt and corey got hair cuts just adds to the pile negatives on this album.

I heard the title track on a local metal radio station, the DJ actually apologized before playing it, I can understand why due to the song sounding like it was written by a try hard 10 year old, it's worse than Morbid Angel's new song 'I Am Morbid', same lyrical maturity though.

If you don't like it, stay off the fucking page and move on - even if you absolutely hate Trivium, it's best to keep your mouth shut and your eyes glued to whatever it is you actually do like, whether it's a nice big penis or a man's juicy ass. Otherwise, I'll bite your tongue off and sew your mouth shut, understood? Good, now run along like a good little troll and SOD OFF.


Try to be a bit more offensive, I beg you sir.

I never really enjoyed Trivium, they have some cool riffs but that's basically it. Anyways, I thought I might give the new album a try but after reading all the comments maybe I should keep my bucks for stuff I know I like.

Agreed. Shogun was really promising but the new one is really boring. At least it's better than The Crusade IMO.

i fucking agree with you who judge this as garbage dont understand a fuck about metal because they have great solos on their albums and pretty trashy songs.


Yeah, a clean and aseptic technique is actually the only thing we can credit to this band.
As for the rest, you just said it: trash.

when i said trash i ment trash metal influencies like the crusade .so do not misunderstand me, i love this album and the previous ones.and you hate this band just because the stupid realo or fake i mean they wanna do metal in all the way possible. they can't do it? i dont give a fuck. i like all the kinds of metal and i dont judge real or fake
