Apr 12, 2013Fans have a dangerous ability to become negative when hit by change. The third album is a solid album that retains the lyrical and melodic talent of the band. That said, it falls short of the first two 'Billy Talent' albums which were sublime. That does not write it off however, it still provides a powerful listen.

Jul 30, 2016the critics all seem to have their heads up their asses, sure it's not as good as the first or second album, but it's still very good. i will recommend this album until the day I die.

Jul 27, 2011This 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.

SimGOct 1, 2009I am new to Billy Talent's music. I've heard so much praise of their work, that when I saw their new release, I figured I should give it a try. Well I must say I was impressed. I was expecting something like Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Blink 182 or any of the Punk/Emo bands from the last 10 years that I really don

DylanOct 2, 2009I don't know what album the critics are hearing, it isn't the one I heard. Great album, a solid effort. Not quite as good as the first album, but better then the second.

cjNov 4, 2009I do not know what the critics seem to have against this album it is probably because it is not the mainstream trash that they listen too.others say that the lyrics have no meaning.Saint Veronika should proove them wrong.This album has made Bill y Talent my favourite band.

TravisHOct 6, 2009After the 3rd Album they still sound as they did on the first. way to not sell out your unique style, which by the way people love and critics for some reason do not.

CSDec 3, 2009I had to listen to it a few times before I bought into it because it does seem to lack some of the energy of the first two. Still it has really grown on me and though its not nearly as good as the first album it is better then the second. Definatley worth giving a chance.

MGL.Sep 23, 2009Very good commercial rock, with old punk roots. Think Incubus with old school punk balls.

ArthurSNov 18, 2009Honestly the is a decent record. It will grow on you. I use to hate his music and style but now i find it innovating and definitely unoccupied.

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.
-
The intensity on Billy Talent III feels the same as the intensity of the band's live show, awkwardly forced and absolutely repellent.
-
III is unspectacular, yet it’s laudable that Billy Talent’s chins to remain unencumbered by the ballbags of big business.
