His vocals took a turn for the worst and its just slow and not as creative as they used to be. Not that I was expecting some incredible album, but a solid one at least.

Kids know about them and they're popular but no one thinks to go to a record store and buy the CD. As for Killswitch and DevilDriver, both are decent released but at the same time, are just more of the same from both of those bands. probably why neither is going to sell much more. Those bands peaked years ago. Music is downloaded for free -thats how bands like JFAC and Suicide Silence sell a bunch of shirts and get good showings at their tours.

Most metal albums only sell 10% digital, bringing that up to 90% of CDs. So you think that metal bands should walk away from 80-90% of their sales just because some blog thinks it's fashionable to parrot the same line you're parroting here? Sales are down everywhere, but it's a straw fucking man to say that bands should walk away from CDs because of these sales. You know that 80% of most metal bands are actual, tangible CD sales, right?

But i may have misused the word EPIC :S Pray for Villains wasnt that bad and deserves abit more. -.- i guess “the DevilDriver album” will always be way better than anything DevilDriver can make but it wasnt that bad i mean just because the older DevilDriver albums are better doesnt mean this one suxx!
