Album Review
Like their peers I Killed the Prom Queen, Australia's Parkway Drive have read up on the metalcore handbook as written by popular American bands like Killswitch Engage and As I Lay Dying. Their debut, Killing with a Smile, is all about punishing breakdowns, death metal riffing, hardcore aggression, and monstrous growls that want nothing more than to spit and snarl until listeners entirely understand just how p****d off they really are and, well, that they're not joking. Outside of a rough and venomous exterior (and incessant use of murderous and bloody imagery), Parkway Drive prove to really be just a bunch of tough Aussies with broken hearts. Of course, though, this means malicious and infuriated revenge directed at the young maidens who have tossed them aside. Consequently, lyrical treasures abound on the album: vocalist Winston McCall compassionately declares, "Cry me a f*cking river bitch/You wouldn't know love if it crushed your f*cking chest" in the fittingly titled "Romance Is Dead" before announcing several songs later that "If looks could kill you'd be a f*cking shotgun against my head...I would so love to hang you." So really, Parkway Drive just want to be loved. Fans of acts like Bleeding Through or any of the aforementioned handbook writers could get a lot of satisfaction out of this release; it just depends on where personal opinions currently stand on the necessity of another metalcore act.

OMFG!
This disc is absolutley off the FREAKING CHAIN! With Darkest Hour being my favorite band, I am constantly on the look out, for new music. In search of that band that is equally as talented as they are. I downloaded this disc on a whim. I wasn't overly impressed at first. But then I played the disc on a pair of noise cancelling head phones. OMG....this band is EASILY as talented as Darkest Hours (if not maybe a little better!). Do yourself a favor...buy this disc...you will easily rate every song 5 stars, as each song is unique in and of itself...no fillers...11 top notch songs will keep you coming back for more, time and time again the disc does not tire!

Obssesed!
For any metalcore fan. This band has some real talent. I picked this up when a freind reccommened it to me and now, months later, I still can't stop listening to it. The breakdowns are great and the guitar solos are something you don't see every day in the metalcore world. Each song stands out and is origanal, but the album flows very nicly. With the exeption of August Burns Red's Messengers, Killing With A Smile is the most flawless and energized metalcore album out there!!
