I am sure it didn't hurt since they had never had that exposure before. If only MTV would move HBB back to regular MTV from 10-12. Instead of Pimp My Kid or those shows.

MTV would never do that though, the majority of their viewers only care about what happens in the lives of celebrities and teen drama. The channel should consider changing their acronym to Mindless Telivision, same with Fuse.
Music in the U.S right now makes me very sad.

everyone please do yourself a favor and download a copy of justin timberlakes NUMBER ONE SINGLE "sexy back"
and then listen the crusade
really makes you wonder why people are so fucking stupid

If you guys get big off of your slower less technical songs, and then come out with a cd full of them on your next effort, I'm going to be pissed!

my favorite songs off this album have been the slower/catchier ones...

I would be so bored doing that. I like mixing it up, but I love playing fast stuff. I don't think doing a CD of all slower songs would do us any good.

Chill dude, a little variety never hurt anyone.

I personally love this album. It has taken over my album of the year which was previously held by Stone Sour, which is also an amazing album.
I think you guys did a great job of mixing it up, I hear SO many influences in this music, I really believe it is a masterpiece.
And I believe with this album it will finally break you free of the metalcore genre which you have been lumped in.
I also really love Matts singing on this record. Matt has a decent scream but I just got tired of hearing it in every song, I found myself waiting for the clean vocals to come in, which I love. I really like the "Hetfield" type vocals. Screaming is just being done to death, and its hard to distinguish one band from another. Luckly Trivium set themselves apart because of how talented they are musically.
Anyway, just wanted to say I love the album, its my favorite of the year, and you guys have really stepped it up on this album.
And I have it on pre-order so dont worry about me DL the leak, I just couldnt wait to listen to it.

The vocal arrangements in some songs such as Becoming The Dragon, really make the song. Very impressive vocally (and the bass outro).
Nice to see some screaming still. Even a dash more would be nice, it sounds good when used in moderating and for emphasis/aggression.
The album is starting to sink in on me and I'm really enjoying it.

Holy fuckin shit this album is kicking my ass right now.. I have been listening to it all day...
I really like "Unrepentant" and "Contempt Breeds Contamination"but my favorite song Is "Tread The Floods" the solos in the middle are so fucking awesome I am going to buy this album..
