Album Review

Bullet for My Valentine hits the ground running and maintains a blistering pace throughout most of Scream Aim Fire, not even slowing down for "Hearts Burst Into Fire," the first of two love songs featured on the album. It's definitely harder and more aggressive than the band's debut album, The Poison, which had a sound evenly divided between emo and metal. For Scream Aim Fire, Bullet for My Valentine leans more toward the latter and sounds increasingly self-assured and solid for it. That's not to say that the group has switched genres or completely changed their approach — Scream Aim Fire isn't an album from a band in transition, but a band in the process of evolving. Having found a formula that works, Bullet for My Valentine expands it and incorporates different influences. (The guitar solos in "Waking the Demon" are comparable to those on Avenged Sevenfold's City of Evil, while Matt Tuck's vocals on "Deliver Us from Evil" bear enough resemblance to Gerard Way that they induce a double take.) But thanks to Scream Aim Fire's pacing, it can be difficult to appreciate the band's growth. The songs breeze by at the beginning, slow down for two or three tracks in the middle, then pick up abruptly toward the end. A more even distribution between fast and slow songs would have done the album a world of good. Fortunately, Bullet for My Valentine ends the album effort with "Forever and Always," an arena-ready power ballad whose unwavering midtempo beat is steadying after the frenetic songs that precede it. Its concert-closer feel isn't coincidence — not only does the song bring Scream Aim Fire to a satisfying conclusion; it also begs for an encore.

Customer Reviews

they're finally back...and better than ever

don't listen to anyone who has given the band crap for this cd. they obviously haven't listened to it at all. this album is incredible. matt's voice is a little different but it sounds even better than how it did on the poison, the drums are much more distinct and impressive and the guitar solos are unbelievable. sure, its a little different than the poison but who wants to listen to the same things over and over. i think that this is even better and more impressive than the poison was. "Hearts Burst Into Fire" is the first song that sounds so much different than their previous work. However, it is a beautiful and emotional song that is worth many listens and "Waking the Demon" has some of the best intrument work on the cd. I just want to say congratulations to bullet for my valentine for somehow topping the poison and ensuring themselves as one of the best bands around today. anyone who is reading this and debating whether or not to buy it, stop debating. go buy it as soon as you can.

For a Reason.

For starters, I have been listening to this album for about 8 months now. Its still just as good as when I got it. How some of you can't "get into this album" or just "don't like the way they're going" is amazing. 1. Because I've seen it so many times, BFMV was NEVER AN EMO BAND, and THEY NEVER WILL BE. Take the song Curses from everyone's beloved Hand of Blood album. The words "I need a MAP to find my WAY OUT OF THIS ONE" are exact proof. They have ALWAYS had a metal sound, but its just been muffled. 2. This album isn't SUPPOSED to be the exact same thing as the Poison, or Hand of Blood. The whole point of different albums is to experiment with different types of songs. How boring would it be if you were just listening to the SAME guitar being played, but with different lyrics in place? (For example, listen to Dragonforce. It's sound NEVER changes) 3. Theres nothing MAINSTREAM about this at all either. Mainstream = Jonas Brothers. Mainstream = Linkin Park. Mainstream = Blink 182. Mainstream is NOT BFMV. If anything, this album sounds DARKER then The Poison, so maybe you all should wax your ears a little more often. But enough negative. The guitar is REALLY alive in this album, extremely energetic and fast paced, for example, Waking the Demon. The lyrics aren't the greatest in the world, but why should they be? Its not absolutely necessary for lyrics to be 100% sane. I don't know what you guys are listening too, but Matt can still scream. Not perfect, but he isn't singing like a stupid Jonas brother. He's screaming. In the end, 10/10 album. Good piece of work, and it is true that the Poison was an extremely hard album to play up on, but they did a great job.

Biography

Formed: 2003 in Bridgend, South Wales

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '00s, '10s

Since their inception in 2003, the Welsh quartet Bullet for My Valentine have been taking cues from '80s metal bands and the punk-infused metal of the new millennium to make melodic, metallic, dark rock songs. Originating from Bridgend, South Wales — a breeding ground for likeminded groups like Funeral for a Friend and LostProphets — the group consists of childhood friends Matthew Tuck (vocals/guitar), Michael Padget (guitar/vocals), Jason James (bass/vocals), and Michael Thomas (drums)....
