    When they stretch farthest away from their origins, as they do on the plodding power ballad 'Sudden Movements,' their sound takes a turn for the best.
  2. NOW Magazine
    60
    Brendan O'Brien, best known for his continuous work with Pearl Jam and Springsteen, takes over from Gavin Brown on Billy's third s/t offering, and there's some noticeable dulling of the edges here.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    20
    The intensity on Billy Talent III feels the same as the intensity of the band's live show, awkwardly forced and absolutely repellent.

    Critics don't know what they are talking about. Great progression from their second album.

    This album got my really into Billy Talent music. Although I had known before two or three songs, I did not pay attention to that album. Whatever the critics say... I don't care. This is my favourite album.… Expand

    From a band who I've enjoyed thoroughly thanks to some catchy songs, this album left me wondering.....I just can't get into these new songs at all. Fans of commercial rock I think will enjoy it, but I can't get into it at all.… Expand
