actually, they kicked liiva because his performance wasn't dynamic enough and he couldn't keep up with the rest of the band. if you listen to the aces high cover with liiva, you see that he's often cutting off in the middle of the sentences to inhale, so that kind of held the band back, so they held auditions and they took angela cuz she had the BEST AUDITION (if you say otherwise, you don't know anything), and since she was a female vocalist, the band knew it would make the band more dynamic
I love that when a band changes vocalists, there is a large arguement over which is better, but if a band changes guitarists, noone so much as bats an eyelash.
These songs were much darker than the new AE songs, and this high voice doesnt suit simply. Personally i think Athems of the rebellion was their and will be their best album, and still prefer the first 3 cd than the last 3.
I can't understand you guys.. Johan Liva is a big shit compared with angela. And I don't know how you can say the original is better.. If you really think it, stop listening music or go washing your ears...
@SanTheDrummer I couldn't understand eighter, but its actually a bit different - The fans of Liva just got used to him, to the old Arch Enemy and when Angela came they just still can't accept her. Like Anette in Nightwish - she sings good, but the fans hate her...
@SanTheDrummer Okay, that has to be the most ignorant opinion I've heard all day... and like your opinion, other people have their opinions, and I think Johan Liiva's version is a hell of a lot better, if they only remastered the song, and not changed it like they did in this version, then maybe it'd catch my taste, but this, in my opinion, sucks compared to the original. By the way, before you start bitching and complaining, you can't prove an opinion wrong, so have a good day, sir.
Honestly, I like Angela more then johan in this, its just the guitar is more lame in this. But I agree johan was great its just I think angela beat him in this song. I guess shes better in some songs and johan was better in others. (Its just my opinion, I guess majority rules me out since everyone thinks johan is better in this.)
Interesting that they re-did these songs. I like Angela just fine, but there was an amount of energy and desperation in Johan Liiva's voice that I'm missing here. But the good news - they'll definitely be playing more old songs in the upcoming tours!
@LeftyLV426 yeah Johan had something that is not here.Don't get me wrong Angela is amazing but she is even better live wish they had redone Seed of Hate :(
angela is fucking better than that guy, and its not me that is telling this for you, as i said, u must to find out about arch enemy and compare, the last band and the band today.. so u'll see, angela is better.. D;
She can't sing any of the old tracks in time! lololol!

I love Arch Enemy and I think angela rocks, but they really shouldn't have tried to fit her vocals over Liiva's. The original was fantastic.

liiva was good on this song too
but the way he sings it its like he can't keep up with the lyrics and the guitar beat
you can understand it more and it sounds kinda exasperating but the way angela sings it... it feels right lol
tho its harder to understand her haha

Angela's a better singer than Johan but ever since she joined the band, they've softened up and lost all the edge and energy they used to possess.
