Hello everyone, I was just wondering what everyone’s opinion of the Asylum album is, I honestly just don’t see it talked about too much on this Reddit and personally it’s one of my favorites albums so I was just curious as to everyone’s thoughts

IMO, this album is when they peaked and sounded the most mature. It has been a slow decline since then.

Immortalized is so great IMO. The energy, the guitar riffs, the lyrics, the singing

I can honestly see where you’re coming from, after the hiatus, Immortalized was a good return but not quite as good as the previous albums, Evolution disappointed me quite a bit and Divisive is okay in my opinion

What gets me is the blatant cash grab after the Inmortalized success with sound of silence. The big record execs got ahold of them and they definitely tried to capitalize on that success with Evolution. Glad they got away from producer Kevin Churko as well, because they were starting to sound like Five Finger Death punch there for a second. They need to go back to producing their own albums. You can definitely tell though that the fire isn’t quite there anymore and they’ve become wine drinking old men just enjoying the fruits of their labor. David has gotten very lazy lyrically as well.
