The next level wasn't what I feel many fans appreciated. The approach of the music was not heading back to early metalcore elements, but to a alternative and electronic pathway.
This wasn't much of an album with much spark and adrenaline. Though performing the songs from the album live sure is a better deal than hearing it on the album.
It combines hard rock with electronic music to create a nice electronic/alternative metal album. This isn't bad but in this case it is a bit annoying to hear Maria's talented voice with electronic music that doesn't fit well with her uplifting vocals and screams.
An average album.
Blood is a step back in the band's career. Much better hearing past albums than this album. It's surely hitting the sales charts well, considering the single "Blood" is heard on the radio bringing more listeners into the band.
Blood isn't all that bad though. Some songs that do keep fans rocking could be "Blood", "Comanche", and "Beast Within".
Overall the album is OK and average. Simple as that..

I think the old metalcore albums of them are boring. Blood brought an interesting new approach and seriously made them stand out from the masses. Continuing the old way they would just be another metalcore band. But as it is now, they've taken a huge leap, did a great album, that really sounds like nothing else.

I'm not saying this album entirely sucks (since its on my list of fav albums of all time). I have to review this in a way the whole entire audience will understand. It's a good album but its still plain (unless performed live). Also in my opinion Beautiful Tragedy was their only great album, the rest were ok.. Blood is their second best in my opinion.
