iTunes Review
Aiden returns to their original post-hardcore style on Knives, the band’s fourth studio outing. Recalling 2005’s Nightmare Academy in ferocity, Knives unfolds with the pummeling assailment of “Killing Machine,” a fast, raw and angry song where singer Wil Francis (who also produced the album) croons maniacally with disturbing lyrics about cutting and sewing one’s skin. Named after the vampire fiction novel by Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist, “Let the Right One In” unleashes some driving and powerfully emotional vampire rock, but “Scavengers of the Damned” is the album’s standout, with its hard-bouncing melodies, pirate-like imagery and fist-pumping anthemic chorus. The evocative “Crusifiction” rails heavily against how organized religion played a pivotal role in the George W. Bush administration. If you’re partial to gang vocals, the chorus on “Excommunicate” sounds like a field of furious young men singing in unison. With its fistfight tempos, call-to-arms lyrics and heady, infectious melodies, expect this tune to get the pit swarming come Warped Tour time.

What the ****?!
by JB989I started listening to Aiden back in highschool when they were still heavily promoting their first 2 albums and their EP things with We Sleep Forever on it. Conviction had not YET come out.
I LOVED their original songs. They emotional, fantastic, and made listeners find something to relate to when they were upset or angry. The songs were incredible.
Then conviction comes out, and it kind of sucked. I dealt, i still loved Aiden and figured the music would grow on me. To an extent, it did, but nothing like Nightmare Anatomy or Our Gang's Dark Oath
Finally, they announce KNIVES. I was ecstatic. ESPECIALLY after hearing Scavenger's of the Damned when the released an early single. The CD is released weeks later, and I excitedly start previewing songs on itunes. I pick the song "crucifiction" (har har, cute play on words guys) to hear it and amidst the singing, I hear "christ died for s*** and was a f******* c***."
Thinking I must have heard wrong, I listen again and lo and behold, I really heard that.
NOW, I am not advocating against expressing views in music. I'm all for it. Go nuts. But since when was Aiden a 666 satanic anti-God religion hating band? I'm sorry, did everyone including the band forget their constant mention of heaven, hell, angels, demons, etc in their past music? All religious, so why the sudden turn to crapping on it rather than just mentioning it?
Die Romantic, about midway through "God save me please, cause' i don't think she'll make it through the night" oops looks like wiL screwed up there huh? Why the flip?
My point is, I could care less if a band promotes or goes against religion, any religion. Doesn't matter which. But, I do not listen to bands that insult and slander the belief's of people who listen. And I'm SURE Aiden has PLENTY of religious fans. Well, I'm sure they DID.
What a stupid way to shift the fan base from actual adherents to the band's musical and lyrical talent to impressionable 12 year olds who think hating religion is cool because mommy and daddy like it. Again, not about defending religion. Its the simple principle of the fact that Aiden went from a band that expressed its views and emotions through the music to a 666 satanic crap band.
Sorry Aiden, I'm not buying your CDs anymore. I will continue to enjoy your old music and reminisce about what used to be.
Ehh..
by sarxbearThis album was ok but its not something I could listen to over and over again. The only songs that I liked were "Let The Right One In" "Protrait" and "killing Machine". Their old stuff sounded much better but I still love them. (:
Aiden is amazing.
by ChristineMurderSceneThis album is really one of the best I've ever heard. I started getting into Aiden after I saw William Control open up for Escape The Fate. Then at Warped Tour I saw Aiden and it was the best show i've ever seen. I met them and it changed my life. Really, EVERYONE should give this album a chance. Crusifiction is personally my favorite song on Knives because it is basically my exact take on religion. Killing Machine, Let The Right One In, and Scavengers Of The Damned are my other favorites. A lot of people say Portrait is creepy, but it really goes with the flow of the album. If I could, I'd give Aiden 5676878 stars.
