Emphasizing the distortion and returning to more riff-bound material, Waking The Fury opens well with "Ultra Motion" which lives up to its name as a high speed adrenaline fest. The next several tunes do not slow down and continuously pump adrenaline, and "The Ritual" is their best drug-themed groover yet with an appropriately fuzzy feel and vibe and a badass midsection. The album floats a bit into nu-metal [tastefully] on "Prime Time Killing" but picks back up into thrashier territory and ends on the fast paced "Cold Blooded." The production values stand out from their other material and is actually very good, and the adds to the album's character. Maybe not their very best post-Neverland release, but it's definitely their most consistent and their last great album.
