Arch Enemy is a really odd band
They haven't had a really consistently good record since that dude (Johan?) from that one band sang with them, IMO
But that first angela gossow record had some bangers (Ravenous, Dead bury their Dead)
Their problem has always been consistency - their records will have a couple of stone cold killer tracks and a whole bunch of filler
I'm gonna be honest I haven't paid a ton of attention to them for years, the whole thing seems like a gimmick - as if they are the first extreme band to ever have a chick singer lol
If you asked metalcucks or some "metal" journo that's probably the answer they would give you
They honestly seem like a band that really skates by on little effort, especially songwriting wise, but spends a whole fuckton of money on production
