    Oh damn, I totally forgot to post it on the band thread. To be fair, I didn't think there was a band thread for Billy Talent.

    The Dead Can't Testify (I dig this song)
    White Sparrows

    Honestly, this album isn't terrible on first listen, but it's definitely no I or II.

    This album is definitely a huge step down from I and II. I think we'll probably have a solid enough final 4, but outside that the album is pretty forgettable.

    I currently have Diamond on a Landmine in my head and I'm not mad about it, so that's something I guess.

    I think my thoughts on this album are summed up by saying it sounds like an album they felt obligated to make rather than one they were genuinely inspired to make. Don't know what the band themselves have to say about this album, but that's my impression from the music.

    I was hoping for Diamond to win the album honestly.

    Tears Into Wine

    One of the few tracks on the album that felt more like the Billy Talent of the first two albums. I'm gonna try and go into DS/AoH will a slightly more open mind.

    I did a discography run last week and forgot how good Dead Silence was. I still like III, but it's their worst.

    This was tough - definitely two of the better songs on this album.
