Aug 18, 2011PurplePlain 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!

Aug 16, 2011Once again, Trivium recorded a brilliant album. Matt's vocals have improved compared to previous releases. Guitar work is great as always. But still, they can't top Ascendancy which will, as it seems, always be their best work. Top tracks: Caustic Are The Ties That Bind and Forsake Not The Dream but others are almost good as these two. All in all, fans should be pleased. Well done, Trivium.

Jan 25, 2016A very solid and respectable album that you should listen to I quite like the songs In Waves, Watch the World Burn, Black, Built to Fall and Of All These Yesterdays. I would recommend listening to these five songs and then choose whether to listen to the whole album or not but if you do you won't be disappointed.

Aug 9, 2011It's Trivium. And as a fan of their music since Ember To Inferno, I think it's a decent album. They haven't been able to top themselves at all though, and it's probably their worst album yet, but I still like it, at least a little.

Kerrang!Aug 24, 2011In Waves draws from the band's entire repertoire and shapes what it finds into a defining and definitive set. [6 Aug 2011, p.50]

Q MagazineAug 22, 2011Blunt, focused and inventive, it's as near to classic metal as Trivium have been. [Sep 2011, p.110]

Aug 22, 2011As intense and heavy as they try to be on each song, the heaviness loses its effect when every song prior to it wielded it just the same.
