Could be an interesting release, depending on how they re-release the songs. If they re-record the songs and take on the more recent sound of their most recent 2 albums then my expectations won't be very high. Interested to hear the old demos though.

Trivium is the quintessential definition of a bell curve if their MS album ratings are any indication. Their first album is arguably just as bad as their recent work (I remember hearing Matt give a speech where he almost sounded ashamed by it), albeit Ember To Inferno was terrible metalcore, whereas their most recent stuff is just terrible heavy metal. If they were looking to impress folks, which let's be honest, they won't, they'd have dig back into their Shogun days to make the majority of folks think it was anything more than slop.

In reality, they're either going to re-record the same garbage, and release it as garbage, or re-work their old garbage, incorporating today's garbage, and still release garbage. Take your pick.

After seeing many albums with a rating of well over 8.5 with over 20+ votes that don't get featured in the Top 20 (and the amount of vote abuse on this site on albums that do happen to make it in Top 20) I tend to take MS ratings with a pinch of salt. Don't get me wrong i've found many great albums through high ratings, but generally if something sounds good to me then it sounds good. In Trivium's case - for me and a few others I know, the Trivium albums still have listenability as they are somewhat nostalgic and in my case they we're the first metal band I got into, in fact Trivium are the reason I got into all the metal bands I listen to today.

I don't understand how can someone re release an album from such an young band!

Album us out of print and impossible to get hold of? So they re-release it. Happens loads of times.

About time they re-release it. It was super hard to get access to for the longest time, and as a result it's the only Trivium album I never bothered to check out.

I know this one isn't a very good album but it's still an interesting piece of history so I'm definitely looking forward to this.
