    The result is a superb, invigorated record that invites you to wake up, as they have done, in a brave, bold and beautiful new world.

    Within Temptation nourish symphonic metal yet again on Resist. Their music is always cohesive and passionate.

    Resist is more an evolution than a revolution in the band's sound, which tightens up and augments everything that was great about 2014's Hydra. [Feb 2019, p.91]

    In shifting gears to stoke their creative flames, Within Temptation have created an immersive--if not wholly original-sounding--set of songs that play to both their strengths and weaknesses.

    Resist does start off on the wrong foot both musically and thematically, and it ends up coloring the experience of the album in its entirety.

    In my opinion the new album "Resist" by Within Temptation is an okay album.
