Completely agree. I found myself trying to force me to dig it more than I actually do.I REALLY want to like this, I'm a fan of all their previous work, but this seems like a step back to me. It just doesn't feel like it goes anywhere, you get 2 minutes in and it still feels like you haven't gotten out of the intro. Needs more direction and purpose to it. Shattering was great, we can only hope for more songs as good as that on this release.
Bumping this for the release of the In Waves music video.
I'm not that big of a fan of it, it's like the beginning of a story, mostly with them looking sexy with good camera work.
I'm personally more of a fan of MV's where you get to see them play, but you can't deny the fact that Matt Heafy is sexy as fuck in this one.
The song grew on me, but I really like it now, it's just got a good pace and that intro riff's become quite catchy.
Have a look at this:

They've already done a 'How-to Play' video on a song that's not even been revealed yet. But either way, I thought the riff was pretty cool actually, and I quite liked the feel of the song so far too.
I've always appreciated their lyrical content over their song structures. Two songs that always come to mind for me personally are "Throes of perdition" and "Shogun". Though I do like "Like light to flies" and "Fugue", It's hard for me to like songs where they keep repeating the same verse and chorus through the entire 5-8 minutes. It is contradictory to their name "Trivium".
That first riff totally reminded me of the first riff in this
Have to say im preferring his vocals on this. Looks like they might be getting back on form after that 'Tallica lapse'![]()
