Any particular genres you hate?
In general, European power metal and prog metal in general. There's exceptions, since not every European power metal band plays the "flower metal" style, and there's a few good prog bands, but those genres are not my cup of tea as a rule. Not huge on most melodic death metal, at least not the style that's just "harsh vocals over third rate Iron Maiden worship", stuff like Deathevokation is spiffy. Not fond of most attempts to make death metal into something less extreme (like the whole "beauty and the beast" vocal approach) really, usually just means sacrificing everything good about the genre and not adding anything back to the mix.

So basically this isn't my thing <_< The softer sections actually are kind of decent, it's pretty much every time it starts going a bit heavier that it makes me zone out at how pointless it sounds. Also, a bit unfocused, too many different elements that don't gel together making it feel kind of cluttered and lacking direction.
3/10
Huh, I apparently have a really big gap in my mind between a 3/10 song and a 4/10 song. Oh well.
