Dutch metal troupe Within Temptation take a turn for the heavy (in every sense) and make their best album in over a decade.

Even though Bleed Out does not contain a commodity of surefire bangers, this is not a release to be sniffed at.

Honestly, I don't know if I should call this a disappointment or a step-up from their last album.
I am a huge fan of Within Temptation. Their 2007 album has some of my favorite songs on there, the production was fantastic, and the vocals are amazing on there. And the same can be said for both their 2011 and 2019 album. Fantastic albums, and I recommend giving them a listen. which is why I was thrilled to see that they were making a new album this year.

No way, these AI visualizers are too bad. Did they really think this would be cool?
I wasn't really into this band before, and maybe "Bleed Out" isn't the best album to introduce them to, but... it's sooo mid. All the songs are written by the same formula. The instrumentals are incredibly boring, the vocals are good but don't save the end result.
I wouldn't say this record is bad, but I can't call it good either.
