Deception

"In my opinion, this release is million miles away from "Icon" or "Draconian times". Grunt vocals, tempo changes, solos and choruses here and there, the intention is good, but the feeling is absent. Just like putting together all the ingredients does not make a good soup. And contrary to what others are saying, this album is pretty "light", because it is not vocals, distortion, technicality of solos or whatever which make the music heavy, but the message and the feeling. I found this album dissapointing, and at most, amusing, like other (praised but failed) "comeback" attempts of modern-metal era of type Metallica's "Death magnetic".. Okay guys, we know you are in a good shape, but you could do better."
