Honestly, I had pretty low expectations for this album. They replaced the lead singer screamer and one of the guitarists, and the last release was pretty much a retread of the albums that preceded it. That being said, they replaced the lead screamer, legendary Angela Glassow, with EVEN HOTTER Alissa White-Gluz (of The Agonist fame... and Canadian Idol...), and legendary axeman Christopher Amott (brother of the remaining guitarist) with none other than technical shredder Nick Cordle (formerly of Arsis fame). This shakeup truly reinvigorated the band, as the result is the best that Arch Enemy has put out since at least Doomsday Machine.

4.0/5 - Exceptionally good melodeath. So many workout staples in here.
