User Album Review
The blend of melody and chugging rhythms is nothing new, but Miss May I walk the line more than adequately enough to keep your stay with their music interesting. In this case, we have received ten songs that have distinct enough ideas to make for a cohesive yet diverse record. The difference between this record and past records from the band is that this album doesn’t kick into second gear nearly as often, exchanging constant adrenaline for over-the-top catchiness, brutality for unbridled emotion and thrashing rhythms for soaring melodies; a balance Killswitch Engage would approve of. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some great bursts of energy – the opening title track is undoubtedly meant to erupt circle pits. A more diverse record with varying ideas is totally welcomed. ‘Shadows Inside’ is 110% Miss May I’s most enjoyable record and because of that, spins of it will be frequent.
Metalcore fans rejoice! What we have here is a record from a band who have helped keep the genre alive WITHOUT selling out or adopting gimmicky tropes. ‘Shadows Inside’ is a record Miss May I‘s fans will adore because, to them, it will evoke a feeling of being right at home with their favorite band. Best of all, the musicians themselves continue to pour every emotion and thought into their solid brand of a genre considered stale by many at this point. If there is a torch to bear in the next generation, we’re witnessing one of the current giants to currently hold it. And they aren’t letting go anytime soon. 8.5/10 --- metalwani.com
