Hypocrisy - The Arrival

-
Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011

Let me begin by saying that The Arrival is still nowhere near as good as Penetralia or Abducted. That being said, The Arrival is still 10,000% better than Catch 22. The songs on this album sort of sound like a mixture of the material on Abducted and the less Slipknot inspired stuff from Catch 22, with more of an emphasis on the Abducted sound. That in itself puts this light years over Catch 22, which was almost painful to listen to at times. There are still times where Catch 22 rears its ugly head and infects some of the riffs on The Arrival, but thankfully this is not that much of an issue here. I’m glad that Hypocrisy listened to the fans and started going back to what made them a great band. Though The Arrival is not the world’s most godly album, I’ve had my faith in the band restored and I’m looking forward to hearing their next album.
