▒░▒ # Frankly I had written off this album before it had # ▒░▒
▒░ ▒ even been released. War Eternal was poor - the worst ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ that the band had ever done, in fact - and the two ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ singles released before this album, 'The World Is ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Yours' and 'The Eagle Flies Alone' were of a similar ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ standard. Though as a whole Will to Power is an ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ inoffensive listen it certainly doesn't compare to ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Wages of Sin, Doomsday Machine or Rise of the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Tyrant. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Obviously one of the main topics of debate is the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ vocals. I'm not a fan of Alissa's really, at least ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ not when it comes to her harsh vocals. She sounds so ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ flat and lifeless, with nowhere near the power or ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ fury that her predecessor Angela Gossow possessed. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ She hasn't changed at all in her approach since War ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Eternal, yet somehow she grinds my gears more on ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ this album than the last. Perhaps it's because she ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ actually gets to show off her cleans here and there ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ this time out, mostly on 'Reason to Believe'. That's ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ where her talent lies, in actually singing rather ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ than the boring cookie-cutter shite that for some ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ reason Michael Amott seems reluctant to ditch, being ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the creature of habit that he is. If he thinks that ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the fans are going to throw a hissy fit and boycott ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ his music because there are some cleans mixed in ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ with the growls that make up 95% of the vocals he's ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ sorely mistaken. I'd much rather that Alissa was ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ given free reign to play to her strengths rather ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ than being forced to potter along in second gear ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ like Mike has been doing for the past ten years. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ While we're at it, let's mention Jeff Loomis. Even ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ to those that haven't ventured far into his other ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ material his name is instantly recognisable, and for ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ good reason. The man has ideas and talents the like ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ of which Arch Enemy has been lacking since Chris ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Amott called it quits. Don't get me wrong, I ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ consider myself a fan of Michael Amott and in his ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ prime the guy was incredible. But he's not exactly ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ been setting the world alight with his songwriting ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ of late, and it's been ten years now since Rise of ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the Tyrant, which was the last AE album to be ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ received relatively positively. Yet he insists on ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ writing everything himself so that the project ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ retains that distinct Michael Amott sound. Since his ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ brother Chris's departure prior to War Eternal this ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ has become increasingly noticeable, and as the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ objectively more talented half of the duo perhaps he ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ was the mastermind that was keeping Arch Enemy at ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ least somewhat interesting. Had Loomis been given ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ his opportunity to give some feedback and add a ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ couple of new directions to the album then perhaps ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ this album wouldn't have been as formulaic and ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ predictable as it is. One can only hope that next ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ time Mike is slightly more open to a little creative ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ input from the rest of the band. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ I have to admit however that Will to Power is a step ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ up from War Eternal. It's not fantastic, not even ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ close, but the album is listenable and easy to ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ digest from one end to the other. By and large the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ verses are fast, thrashy and aggressive, a hark back ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ to some earlier (and better) Arch Enemy works. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Honestly the riffs aren't anywhere near as bad as ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ I'd anticipated, and even though there isn't much ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ progression from the start of each song until the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ end I'm quite happy to have it there in the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ background while I'm doing something else. Some ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ changes of pace or a little variety wouldn't go ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ unnoticed, but as a whole it's fine. The verses ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ particularly stand out as being consistently decent ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ if not quite as furious and powerful as I'd like ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ them to be. The choruses though tend to be where ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ most of the songs go downhill. It's as if Mike just ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ got halfway through each song and then decided it ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ wasn't quite cheesy enough, so decided to throw in ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the most boring, cliche and downright cringey leads ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ he could think up. The first single 'The World Is ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Yours' is probably the best example of this on the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ album (as well as showing off exactly how formulaic ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the writing has become), as the song starts off ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ decently with some solid, thundering riffs that ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ indicate something bigger is looming in the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ distance. Yet when it arrives I'd rather the band ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ had just kept teasing us with the build up forever. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ The guitars move up an octave and the high-speed ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ power riffing gets coated over by a lame-ass, feeble ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ lead. There's no force to it, nothing to grab the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ listener's attention. If anything it would just ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ prompt them to switch the song off. Really it's ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ about the most generic power metal/melodeath lead ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ that you could possibly come up with. Copy and paste ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the verse and chorus again, then chuck in a stale ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ and predictable couple of solos, fade to Alissa ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ whispering some bullshit about rebellion and finish ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ by playing the chorus in a higher key. Rinse and ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ repeat on every song on the entire album and voila, ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ you have the next AE album. It's a shame in a way ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ because the breakdown that follows the solos is ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ actually fucking class, which I don't get to say ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ very often regarding breakdowns. Strangely enough ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ that's the kind of inspired moment I want to see ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ more often, something unexpected that's executed far ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ better than it ought to be. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ There isn't much to say regarding the drumming or ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the bass. Sharlee is a solid enough bassist but for ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ the most part his work goes unnoticed, buried ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ beneath the guitars for all but a couple of minutes ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ of the album's run-time. Give him a chance to show ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ what he's got and he'll deliver, as he does in the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ brief sections where the rhythm guitar takes a ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ break, but the rest of the time he might as well not ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ even be there. In contrast to this Daniel's drumming ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ is always there or thereabouts, rhythmically ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ plodding away somewhere in the background. He's ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ consistent and gets the job done, yet also ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ incredibly unspectacular. In a way he too is ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ coasting along, with nothing on Will to Power ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ showcasing his true ability. It's been a while, ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ sure, but this is the guy that used to play songs ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ like 'Pilgrim', 'Machtkampf', 'I Am Legend' and ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ 'Lament of a Mortal Soul'. When did the fills become ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ so bland, the blast beats so slow and infrequent? ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Maybe you could blame Mike's writing and say it's ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ constricting him or whatever, but I've come to ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ expect more from his playing than what we're served ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ up here. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ I suppose across the board there is room for ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ improvement. Alissa needs to be given more freedom ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ to include passages of clean vocals, although at ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ least Will to Power is a start in that respect. She ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ isn't as good as Angela, but at least she isn't as ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ godawful as Johan Liiva. Loomis needs to be included ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ in the creative process or else there's no point in ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ him being there at all. But most importantly, ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Michael (and to a lesser extent Daniel) needs to ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ stop coasting and actually produce something that ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ isn't by-the-numbers, cliche and tired melodeath. ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ The individuals involved in this project are capable ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ of so much more, but even on an LP that fails to ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ deliver they do have some great moments. 'Murder ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Scene' is genuinely a satisfying listen, 'Dreams of ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Retribution' has flashes of the Daniel Erlandsson of ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ old, Alissa's cleans throughout are implemented very ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ successfully, the intro and chorus of 'A Fight I ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Must Win' are fantastic, and I even enjoyed the ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ aforementioned breakdown on 'The World Is Yours'. If ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ Michael wakes up and realises that we want him to ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ challenge himself then I have no doubt Arch Enemy ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ could produce another great album to add to their ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ catalogue. Whether he will wake up is another matter ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ however, and though I keep my fingers crossed I ▒ ░▒
▒░ ▒ won't get my hopes up. ▒ ░▒
