User Album Review
All of Watchers of Rule is just absolutely heavy. Songs like “Never Cease” and “To The Ground” are just non-stop barrages of hammers right to your brain. Even when the songs breakdown, they never lose an ounce of energy since they are usually just building up to something even better. However, at times I felt sometimes this worked a little against the albums favor. While each of the songs are stellar, there aren’t any really slower paced songs, or songs that might back off on the heavy a bit for just a little more melody. And after a while, your ears can get pretty worn out to it all. Not in a “that’s so metal” sort of way, but in a way where you might see yourself taking a break once in a while in order to have fresh ears to fully enjoy the rest of the album. Of course, you may only encounter this if you’re giving the entire album one full go at a time.
This is definitely one of Unearth’s best albums, and should be considered a benchmark for metalcore in 2014. This is a highly recommended album to anyone and all who wants something heavy in their lives. With Watchers of Rule, it’s pretty clear that Unearth still has plenty to give their listeners, which only makes me more excited for the future.
