I probably like the catchier side of Arch Enemy more. I wasn't ever really a fan of the Johan Liiva years. Khaos Legions is my favorite AE album, so in that way, I feel like Will to Power follows up on that style pretty good.

Cause I've never heard the album. Divine Intervention certainly is not a bad album, but it is a major step down, the first time they ever released anything but a stone cold classic, heralded Tom Araya's unfortunate vocal shift, and they've never truly recovered (Christ Illusion being the one real exception). But stay edgy, bro.

I did consider changing that when I wrote it, but English isn't my first language so I decided I have an excuse to write like a moron.

Maybe it is just because of nostalgia, and the fact that "Divine Intervention" was one of the first metal albums I heard from the heavier side of Sabbath, but I still like that album.

"Killing Fields" and "213" are 2 of my favorite songs Slayer has ever done, but yeah, the rest doesn't do much for me, and the incredibly dated sounding "Dittohead" I think was a weak single to go with.

It doesnt hold a candle to the 2 before it, but seemed better than the 2 that followed it.

But "213" is a great song. I like to think of it as being a trilogy that started on "South of Heaven" and ended on "Divine Intervention"

Tell me these 3 songs dont have a kind of flow to them.

213 is pretty sweet. I really like it when Slayer goes for heavy mid-tempo groove.
