| 3.4 great | Trey STAFF | March 9th 18 |
In Vain's last album was appealing to me because it had good songwriting and direction. It blended the prog and death metal seamlessly and was even pretty damn catchy. Currents seems to be lacking just a little bit of that. It feels like there was just a little less effort put in this time. The clean vocals sometimes feel out of place and the melodies are occasionally awkward. There are really cool parts too, though, like the chorus of "Soul Adventurer" for example.

My review is based on the special edition, which IMO is the best In Vain album to date. The
compositions is better than ever and there is a great balance between longer and shorter songs.
The bonus tracks are real hightlighst. "And Quiet Flows the Scheldt" is just beautiful and the
other track "Ghost Path" contains some of my favorite In Vain riffs so far. Are people basing
their reviews on the normal or special edition?

?Blood We Shed? is awful. Some of the worst lyrics I?ve heard. Brings down the rest of an otherwise decent, not great album.

A bit more streamlined, but at the same time probably their most even album to date. "Blood We Shed" slays and the vocal job on "Origin" is amazing. Opening track might be the least interesting thing on the album.
