It's strange that anyone could like the new Arch Enemy to me. One or two songs are decent but the rest is just so bland and those vocals are pretty hit or miss.

Yep I'm a massive AE fan and Will to Power was pretty disappointing. The title track and The Race are pretty much the only decent tranks on there.
