Album: The Black Swan

Release Date: April 21st, 2008

Overall Rating: 9/10

Breakdown:

1-Choose Your Fate: The beginnings a little weird but the songs ok, kind of heavy, this song really brings the message of what the albums about 9/10

2-Wake Up: Song preview of the album, i like the different synths that they use, definitely my favorite song  9.5/10

3-The Antidote: I love the bridge, the singing and guitar riffs go great together  9.5/10

4-Tell Me (P.A.C): Ok song, beginning snare sound kinda cool, not my favorite  7.5/10

5-Angel In The Swamp: I know the slow part adds to the song but I could really do without it, the lyrics are pretty rough  9/10

6-The Black Swan: its Ok, not my favorite  7/10

7-Message To The World: The vocals in the intro sound great, again the vocals are pretty rough in the chorus, "When you kill me, please do it slowly" but its sounds good  8.5/10

8-Apathy Is a Deathwish: Don't really care for the guitar in the chorus, bridge sounds good though  8/10

9-We're Not Gonna Make It: Vocals wit guitar sound good in the beginning, another one of those songs with powerful lyrics  8.5/10

10-Cannonball: By far one of my favorites on the album, love the guitar riffs. It may not be liked by anyone else judging by the popularity on itunes but i like it  9.5/10

11-Terrified: I'm not particularly fond of slow songs but this one actually has meaning XD 8/10

12-Pale Blue Dot (Interlude): It's not a song so I'm not gonna rate it

13-Welcome To Our New War: Pretty heavy, don't care for their screaming  7.5/10

14-The Truth Shall Set Me Free: I think it ends the album with a bang 8/10

This whole album is mainly about ending the war and all the tragedies war has brought us. It's pretty powerful to listen to but the albums pretty good overall. I recommend to everyone who is a Story Of The Year fan.
