Okay, then I guess you just don't like the band

I just don't like this stale generic overporduced totally easy on the ears biteless stuff that people keep labelling as some sort of death metal when in fact it has nothing to do with it.

Hit a new low? How exactly? For stating how plain, safe and overdone this album is? Or for using the word deathcore twice? The new edited version of the review really stresses the futility of those comments. The genre which I pigeonholed them is actually totally irrelevant to the rest of the review.

The internet must have pushed reading comprehension skills to an abysmal new low if the use of the word "deathcore" twice is the focus point of all this animosity.

For starters, I never brought up the genre, because I honestly don't care what genre it is. What I do have a problem with is that from the start, the vibe of your review is very negative and against the band. I'm sorry, but when you go to do a review, leave your initial opinion of the band out of it. Second, you're calling it a "safe" album. Black Dahlia Murder aren't a groundbreaking band by any means, nor do they push boundaries. Does that matter? Fuck no! They're an enjoyable band, regardless, and this album is still very strong. At this point in time, Black Dahlia doesn't have to do anything groundbreaking, being that their fanbase is strong and would not leave them for making a "safe" album. There are so many other bands making "safe" albums as well. Was the new Amon Amarth or Arch Enemy groundbreaking? No. But they were still enjoyable.

So, instead of ripping on these guys for releasing what you call a "safe" album, just enjoy it for what it is. There isn't much "groundbreaking" metal happening right now, anyhow.

What I'm saying is you came in with a prejudice view of the band, and I feel that your opinion was only hurt by that view. If anything, I'm only trying to help you here, bub. As far as I'm concerned, we're all brothers in metal, and idc if we don't like all the same bands or anything like that, I just want a fair review without the prejudice view. You can continue to give me shit all you want, but I'm only here to help.

Throwing stones from a glass house, are we? It seems you came into this review with a highly prejudiced view on the band/album.

Clearly, fanboys are allowed to slobber all over any band at any time without mockery. Reviewers, it seems, can never actually have an opinion on the album they're reviewing; they're only allowed to point out observations. Negativity is held to a far higher standard, sadly. It's a shame.

Was an enjoyable album, like most things this band has put out, nothing less, nothing more. Never expected anything groundbreaking or original, or terribly artistic, just an enjoyable listen.

What does bother me though is that the review DOES seem to have an innate prejudice, sort of 'I intend to bash this album from the very start' vibe. And I do think a lot of hate this band gets is quite unreasonable in the sense that nowadays there are lot of 'okay-but-nothing-special' Gothenburg-type bands which have quite similiar properties in the sense that they are enjoyable but nothing special but this band is what soaks all the hate, not them. I guess because this was classified as 'metalcore' and it is very trvekvlt to hate metalcore.

Would have rated it about 7.

I disagree with the review myself, but your implication that people dislike this album to be 'trvekvlt' is idiotic-especially because the reviewer has mentioned that he likes BFMV's album Scream, Aim, Fire, which is a mainstream metalcore album.
