    Though not as consistently aggressive as past efforts, the Chariot ride through other seemingly non-related genres (à la Between the Buried and Me) throughout One Wing, adding a bipolar insanity to the album.

    Sometimes when I listen to metal rock music, I'm tired of one level of emotion, volume and tempo of songs. Each song seems to be the same.Sometimes when I listen to metal rock music, I'm tired of one level of emotion, volume and tempo of songs. Each song seems to be the same. This album is something quite opposite to what I'm wrote about. There is a lot of changes of tempo, of volume. Some songs start quietly and suddenly transform to great musically, loud metal music. Each song appears to be different. The best metal album I have heard recently.… Full Review »
