   PurplePlain is a complete retard and has no idea what music is. This album is bringing the Ascendency style back, which is what they've desperately needed to do. Shogun was by far the worst album because Matt Heafy turned into a James Hetfield wannabee and the band sounded exactly like Metallica who of which are one of Trivium's main influences. PurplePlain, you can shove your opinion up your ass!… Expand

   Expected a lot of this album, come to think that exceed their previous epic Shogun work, sadly it was not, but fortunately we were not disappointed.
   It has a powerful sound as Shogun and that put me off a bit, because I love that album, but it can be said that 'In Waves' is almost a continuation of 'Ascendancy', or the logical evolution would have had this at the time. Musically have always been at a fairly high level despite his youth and here we have shown again, but with the passage of time can understand better the changes that have taken. At least I see it in a simple way: Heafy has learned to sing. After 'Ascendancy' the group began to vary their songs live, focusing them towards melodic land; Corey Beaulieu was responsible for some parts guttural, but not sounded the same themes. And all it shows to hear 'In Waves'.
   This paper returns to a step TRIVIUM quite high in the current metal scene. To deny it would be absurd, and have plenty of time to prove their quality, either as is the case study, as in his concerts, we hope to pass on my land before too long.… Expand

   Trivium are out to set the world ablaze with their fourth offering, In Waves. In my opinion, Trivium have crafted their heaviest collection to date without sacrificing quality or accessibility. The heavy debt to prog-metal on Shogun is less prevalent this time around, making this feel more like a true metal album instead of a melting pot of genres. Not to say that's a good or bad thing, but it makes In Waves feel more unique and fresh. Some of the start-stop and punch delivered in several tracks create an intensity almost unparalleled by previous work (see "In Waves", "Watch The World Burn", "Black", "A Grey So Dark"). Altogether, you're listening to a well crafted album by a very talented group of musicians that seem to do themselves a solid by keeping to how Trivium does things and not so much of what others would have them do. Kudos to the group for keeping their identity intact through the years.… Expand
