Summary: Pretty Good
Comment: The CD was pretty good, it have a nice intro and ending. After a while the scream-vocals get mellow but it is a pretty nice CD over all. They just need to have a little more variety.

Summary: Very Pleased!
Comment: i find reviews very helpful when buying music, even though we all have our own taste...Anyways, i decided to buy this album, as i have no other BFMV albums, after hearing some of the songs on it and i absolutely love it! I am a "newer metal" music person, and this album fits that category for me, but still has the older metal influence. What an amazing band, and you will definately be please after getting this album! Every song on it is good! That makes a person happy when you buy an album and every song is good, how often does that happen? Well, there is maybe the slow one i don't care too much for, but every metal band has a ballad...Anyways, buy it, if you like this band!!! It is well worth it!!

Summary: The Poison
Comment: Bullet For My Valentine-The Poison ****
What is so great about Bullet For My Valentine is how refreshing their sound is. Combining Thrash with screamo, with hardcore, and punk feel, with classic metal to create a sound just this side of Slayer. But Bullet For My Valentine is different than their contemporaries like Atreyu and say Avenged Sevenfold because they are not altering their sound for the radio this just comes natural for them and they make their metal melodic enough to get air play with out compromise.
Where we have heard a resurgence of the guitar solo as of late, Bullet is the only band doing it any justice. Combing both speed with technique, and style and feel with melodic lines to build a structure rather than a bunch of fast notes played in a few short seconds.
Tracks like the angry '4 Words' and the radio friendly 'Tears Don't Fall' create contrast while 'Suffocating Under Words Of Sorrow' and 'All These Things I Hate' take on a life of their own. 'Cries In Vain' show that their are still great lyrics in metal.
Bullet For My Valentine is doing it right, and The Poison is their strongest testament to that.

Summary: Duuuude!! This is Awesome!!
Comment: This album is what my old friend Barney would call "SUPER-DEE-DUPER". But seriously, it's really great metal that's hard for other bands to try to mimic. One of my favorite albums to date with my favorites being: All These Things I Hate, Tears Don't Fall, 4 Words, Room 409, and The Poison.
Every metal lover needs to pick this one up for sure.

Summary: Not bad
Comment: I bought this after having only heard one song. It wasn't as good as I had hoped but it rocks pretty hard.
