Bullet for My Valentine's fourth full-length album, titled
Fever, is a great mixture of power ballads and nu/heavy metal. Although it is extremely similar to
Bullet's past albums, it is still a great record. I feel as though the band have found a style and genre that they fit into and that they are releasing literally the same record every time, so fans might get bored of this. For new fans, this album is a great place to start.
There isn't much experimentation in this album, only as much as there has been on their previous releases. The general use of both sung and screamed vocals, fast and complicated guitar solos, and passionate ballads remain the same.
Bullet for My Valentine are an amazing band, I think their music is great and in a way, unique. Every song on
Fever is special in it's own way, especially “A Place Where You Belong”, “
Bittersweet Memories” and “
Dignity”. These three songs are my favourite because of the tones used. The guitars in A Place Where You Belong and
Bittersweet Memories change between acoustic/clean tones and distorted tones that bring the songs to life and give them an extra push.
Dignity uses classic
Bullet guitar sounds, and has one of the best choruses I have ever heard before in my life. The power that is brought during the chorus is unexplainable, especially when played live.
Considering
Bullet for My Valentine aren't as well known as other bands, this album is 5 star. Although they have stuck to their common style once again, for fans that have stuck by them since the beginning, this album will be amazing to them. For the new fans, I recommend listening to this first because for me, the best songs are on this record.
