Bullet For My Valentine Self-Titled Reaction | Metal Shell Reacts
Bullet For My Valentine go back to their roots in their new album “Bullet For My Valentine”. The self-titled album features more screaming and growling than anything the band has offered their audience in over 10 years. However, does this equivalate to the album being a quality release overall? I discuss the album in-full in my Bullet For My Valentine self-titled track-by-track album review, but within the current article I share my initial reaction to hearing the record for the first time. Initially I knew that the lead single was heavy, but I did not know if the album would keep this energy going. Down below you can find my Bullet For My Valentine self-titled reaction video where I share my live reaction to the album.
Bullet For My Valentine Self-Titled Reaction
For the most part I am quite impressed with the album! Its thrashy, heavy, and in your face nearly start-to-finish. I thought that the band that created “The Poison” and “Scream Aim Fire” was gone. Well the appropriately self-titled album proves this assumption false. While I don’t think the album stands up against these massive early career records by the band, I think it is a worthy record in its own right.
“Bullet For My Valentine” is vocally and instrumentally impressive, with catchy choruses and breakdowns galore. Several of the tracks have been stuck in my head since I first heard the record, and that is impressive for an album so genuinely heavy. At the very least, this album is a straightforward headbanger that will leave you with a massive “bangover”. As you can tell from my Bullet For My Valentine self-titled reaction video posted above, I did enjoy my first date with the record. So far my favorite tracks are “Parasite”, “No Happy Ever After”, “Paralysed”, and “Death By A Thousand Cuts”. Only time will tell what tracks stick with me though.
Want to know my thoughts after digesting the record? Here is my track-by-track album review where I will further analyze and dissect each record before giving the album a final rating.
