Arch Enemy - Will to Power Review
Concise Summary:
What the actual heck happened to Arch Enemy? After signing Jeff Loomis, I would have thought the songwriting would have gotten more technical and the solos would have been setting fire to my headphones. However, the opposite turned out to be true. Compared to the masterpiece that was War Eternal, Will to Power is pathetic. The riffs are boring, the solos are all but non-existent, and Allissa's lyrics are so watered down and generic, the album gets tiresome to listen to. There are a few places where this album shines, but overall, it's a pretty bad effort.
My Rating: 4 out of 10
Highlights:
A few nice rhythmic parts
Allissa experimented with some clean vocals, which sounded really good
Some nice instrumentals
Lowlights:
Dumb lyrics
Boring and repetitive riffs
No insane solos from Jeff Loomis?!?
The album's flow isn't very obvious or good.
Favorite Song:
I guess Dreams of Retribution was OK

Gotta say though, man was War Eternal a good album!
