    This is awful. Like most other sensible people, I really enjoyed "The Poison", I thought "Scream Aim Fire" had it's moments, and thought that this was utter crap. It's pure torture to see bands going through this type of change, and it's also torture to sit through this entire album. As the old saying goes, "Gimme back my Bullet."

    An issue with this album seems to be, that nothing changes. there is no advance through the album, and the only song that stands out as their own and doesn't look like it would belong with another band is sadly Your Betrayal. Songs like Fever, while still being a well written song, seem to not lie in the realms of Bullet For My Valentine. This is a shame, because the same fate lies withAn issue with this album seems to be, that nothing changes. there is no advance through the album, and the only song that stands out as their own and doesn't look like it would belong with another band is sadly Your Betrayal. Songs like Fever, while still being a well written song, seem to not lie in the realms of Bullet For My Valentine. This is a shame, because the same fate lies with Scream Aim Fire. The only album that appears to be anything over a 5 would be The Poison, but even that had its moments where you were left thinking "surely not".

    If Bullet are to carry on, and bring out a fourth album, then they need to review it themselves before deciding if it's right. If they can imagine another band, or singer, making a better job of the song, then they need to trash it and rewrite.

    Overall, Fever is a letdown to many, and it's just another BFMV album.    … Expand

    Loved The Poison, Kinda liked Scream Aim Fire, hate their newest album Fever. This band has focused more on lyrics ryhming then delivering any message to their listener. Quite a disappointment.

    As a whole, Bullet show absolutely no progression on Fever, despite this being their third album.

    This isn't a pathbreaking album by a band with any chance at reshaping their genre in their image; it's a solid disc by a group that knows its own strengths.

    Despite the lyrics failing to improve upon previous efforts, elsewhere Fever represents a significant step forward, and practically guarantees that BFMV will fulfil the expectations preceding its release.
