Alright all you Trivium fans, I know how you think Trivium is one of the best metal bands out 
there right now, and they might be, but the truth is there not that good. Don't get me wrong I love the music. The guitar, drums, even the bass but I cannot stand the "singing." Notice the quotes there around singing, yeah more like screaming to me. And I know what you're going to say and you can save it. Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of bands that yell but I do like Killswitch Engage and Slipknot, so you can't say I hate it. But with Trivium it all sounds the same to me. Almost like he's repeating the same lyrics over and over and over again without change the tone or anything. It drags on. I do however, enjoy the parts of the songs where he's actually singing. I don't understand why he would ruin his voice like that, it's great! Maybe it's just my taste in music. Maybe it isn't...oh what's that word...hardcore enough I don't know. Overall I'd give the instruments somewhere around a 9 or maybe even a 10, but for the singing/screaming until I throw up, about a 1 maybe a 2.

I was looking to check out some stuff that I'd never heard before, and he told me Trivium was a good band. We have similar taste in music, but apparently not similar enough. So instead of throwing the CD away like I probably should have, I gave the CD to my friend. maybe he'll enjoy it a little more than I did.
