Editorial Review: Product Description: Trivium stormed onto the metal scene in 2005 with their critically acclaimed debut album Ascendency and continued their dominance with the follow-up The Crusade. Now the band has unleashed their most cohesive and mature effort, Shogun. The band is poised to continue to knock the metal and hard rock community on its ass with what will definitely be hailed as the metal album of the year by critics and fans alike! This Special Edition includes three bonus tracks and a DVD with a 45-minute making of the album documentary as well as 'how to play' clips teaching fans how to play songs from the new album on guitar and bass. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - If you liked Ascendancy, you should like this.Not having ever heard Ember to Inferno, I can only compare this to Ascendancy and The Crusade. In Shogun,Trivium returns to the screams which pulled me in, but does not leave out the harmony and vocalization which made The Crusade a great record. There are a few instances where, within a track, the beat changes oddly, and the album varies oddly from track to track a bit, too. But the content easily rivals that of previous albums while not sounding like the same old music. I would actually give it 4.5/5 stars, but, alas, I cannot. Rating:  - It's Just Not Ascendancy...The reason I fell in love with Trivium was the straight up metal verses combined with melodic choruses and amazing guitar solos that we found on Ember to Inferno and perfected on Ascendancy. This style of metal, a genre i dub "chorus metal," was the type that broke me into most of the music I listen to today. That being said, I was sorely disappointed with The Crusade, being another Metallica clone (and don't get me wrong, I love Metallica, but when so many bands try to be them, it bugs me out), and while their latest offering, Shogun, was an earnest attempt to climb back into the genre that I so love them for, Trivium just isn't back there yet. The title track was the only one I actually enjoyed. I think with their next album they might get ...

I wish Matt Heafy would be more consistent with his style of singing. I prefer when he sounds like James Hetfield like on "the Crusade" CD. The music on this CD is more intense and less commercial. It is the singing on this that makes the less enjoyable for me which is why I can only give it 3 stars... Rating: - PerfectionI'm speechless - I had the opportunity to meet these guys in Corpus Christi - and they're awesome - down to earth and fun guys. I can honestly say that the music they have created in shogun will blow you away - the riffs, solos, choruses - everything has been put together perfectly...It's by far Trivium's best sounding album ever - it's an in your face sound that simply makes you tap your foot or bang your head. Into the mouth of hell we march with Trivium and their masterpiece - Shogun. Matt - Corey - Travis - Paolo = the best musicianship ever! Rating: - Very good CDI had purchased "The Crusade" and was only mildly impressed with it. I certainly didn't get a lot of plays out of me. That being said for some reason I was compelled to pick up "Shogun". I'm very happy that I did. Its a great CD and a breath of fresh air in my opinion. If you like good ol' thrash metal this CD should please you. |
