    As the uplifting positivity of "For You" closes the album on an optimistic note, Billy Talent takes the storm of emotions churning through the preceding cuts and salvages the light that remains, avoiding the titular inner conflict by focusing on that which gives us hope and peace.

    The end result is hardly jam-packed with jump scares, but there are more than enough surprises here to keep you wondering what the hell might be coming next.

    Kowalewicz’s oration on the similarly punky Hanging Out With All The Wrong People adds a Broadway-esque dynamism, while stand-out single End Of Me is brimming with chemistry from alt-rock behemoth Rivers Cuomo. The track’s pastiche of twangy Blue Album-era riffs and kitschy Weezer choruses showcase all that was good about yesteryear.

    Those unfamiliar with Billy Talent’s solid brand of high-octane alternative rock can easily start with Crisis of Faith, while longtime fans of the band will be delighted at the experimentation that pushes the band beyond their comfort zone while still remaining fresh and polished.

    Aside from its occasional highlights, Crisis of Faith feels haggard, tired and lost: branching in a handful of uninteresting, jarring directions with little apparent rhyme or reason.

    Classic Billy Talent album. Sounds just like their old stuff with new sounds built in as well. 10/10, great album.

    Not their best, but still very very good. It’s a little short but that’s not a huge problem and it’s still very enjoyable.

    It's a good album, but the wait was so long, the album is really short and some of these tunes are years old. I realize at a certain pointIt's a good album, but the wait was so long, the album is really short and some of these tunes are years old. I realize at a certain point it's never gonna be good enough. Dead Silence is a much better album, still love it tho. Expand

    A good old Billy Talent's sound.
    It's like a back in time leap.
    Fans will be glad.

    This album was very disappointing. It is missing the edge they've had on previous albums. Reckless Paradise was solid, but beyond that thereThis album was very disappointing. It is missing the edge they've had on previous albums. Reckless Paradise was solid, but beyond that there isn't much there. I understand exploring a new sound and changing directions, but some tracks on this album went WAY too far. Expand
