This French semi-trailer truck will hit you so hard in the face, you won't even realize what happened when it's all over.

This is killer. Unfortunately, this is my first encounter with Benighted so I can't compare to their earlier efforts.

I didn't like it that much. It must be because of the vocals. The instrumental was just ok.

Decent but simply not as fun as ICP / Identisick / Icon. They seem to have traded cool grooves for intensity which for a change I don't approve of. I actually think the BDM side is what's really missing here.

Already better than anything I heard in 2013 (aside from maybe Gris and Cult of Luna).

Sounds good as always but like with previous releases it'll probably get boring pretty fast since their songstructure is just too easy to remember

Jekyll is such a beast. I love that groove towards the end.

Too many pig squeals, way, way too much grindcore, not enough grooviness. Below average for me.

Kind of what I think as well. A step down for sure.

I've already listened to this album. And frankly speaking this album was a total disappointment for me. That is why I was really upset having listened to it for several times. I have found no fresh ideas, no innovations... Previous albums are much better. That is my personal point of view. Perhaps, anyone else will like it. But for me, it is very weak.

I've never been much of a guy for brutal death, but this might mark a turning point. Liking the variety between the two vocal styles, even though the squeals tend to be a bit much.

Will definitely be checking this out!

I don't really understand the complaints with the squeals. Maybe it's just relative to their past records, but I honestly think they are well-executed.

Underwhelming for me. I loved the melodic tendencies of Identisick, Icon, and Asylum Cave. How the band would just break out a standout riff or a melodic section that stood head and shoulders above the rest of the song. This album just feels very basic for them.

This is just death metal, the small tricks and random nonsense that made them stand out are pretty much gone. Also, it has some really weak moments. For example, "Spit" is fucking edgy that I can't take it as a joke anymore. Very disappointed.

Standard fair/good in my book, as with every Benighted album. Not completely awed or blown away, nor repelled by it either. I do find it pretty low replay value material however. Won't be visiting this over and over again. Also; no problem with the piggies.

I may be biased as someone who's loved everything about Benighted since Identisick, but I think you should definitely give this a chance, at least one full listen. "Slaughter/Suicide" and "Collection of Dead Portraits" are awesome songs with a ton of groove.

Someone recommending you a best track(s) off the record won't help you in judging the overall perspective. I mean you asked for the best track and turns out the whole album is bland. In some cases, album is pathetic but title song just kicks ass( like Iron Maiden's Dance of Death).

So, either you listen the whole record or don't touch it all.

Or he could just take 5 minutes to listen to a couple songs to see if they get his attention. If you don't like what you've heard after listening to three songs from this album, listening to the whole thing won't really change your opinion.

I agree with you in not judging the whole album with 2 or 3 tracks, but I listening to Benighted since 2007 or 2008 and I'm familiar with this band and I'm going to listen more tracks of this album or even the whole of it. I should give Benighted a chance but in other cases I mean the other bands that I don't know at all, I think only 2 or 3 track in most cases are sufficient, because there are too many bands out there and our time is limit, don't you think so?

Yes, time is limit. No doubt about that.

Now, listen. As far as listening to Grindcore record is concerned, you know it very well songs are not lengthy. So it hardly takes a one small sit to complete first listen( for e.g. Pig Destroyer's The Book Burner). You listening to Benighted from couple of years might give a bleak judgement of record from 2 to 3 songs. Sit, play the whole disc and judge by yourself how the album is. It doesnt take much time. As for listening to other lengthy albums are concerned, yes you need to take your time out.
