I think that the melodies with guitars are somewhat better, but as for a singer.. I really like Angela's live sound, but in this album however, it could be better. I definitely like the original one more than this, but for sure, this version isn't bad.
Johan hasn't been in the band since 98'? 2000? Why is anyone even bringing his name up? It's 2011 people, lets move on. They are two totally different styles and things change; I liked them both but Angela is a much stronger lead and I think AE is that much stronger because of her.
I love this band. These musicians are simply phenomenal. Regardless of what you think of Angela, I am without doubt that Michael, Chris, Sharlee, and Daniel have only become more godlike in their playing since the days of Mr. Liiva. These guys are amazing, and that is that.
I think that AE make this records of old songs with angela because their last albums its so boring....well almost anything with angela ....she's a great singer...my problem its the music ...its changes...but in a bad way...
@abyssalspecter93 OH MAN!!! I totally hear the Clayman guitar thing. Yeah, the old version was better. Johan had a lower voice, and Angela can't get as low. it's REALLY apparent in her version of Beast of Man. Arch Enemy kind of suck with Angela.
@nonserviamreviews dude please act normal just look at the band and not to the history, i've had that time too but after a while you discover its shit to compare that kind of sh!t, and for all Angela is a female vocalist and johan a male vocalist, and everyone knows there are just a few female vocalists that can get very very low just like male.
The album is very nice although i don't like the guitar sound. They sound too soft, at the older records (I don't only mean the albums before angela, all of them) the sound was more dirty, had more power. But that's only my opinion, depends on what who likes.
I hate how they neutered the song with this version. They really need to stick to making new stuff, not butchering their old stuff. This is awful, especially compared to the old version.
ANGELA makes me creme my pants. i love her voice. so intense and in your face, makes my stomach have butterflies when i hear AE songs.. And live, nobody can fuck with melodic metal live like AE can!!
Instrumentalist sounded better on the Black Earth album, although it's not so bad right now, I like Angela's Vocals, but I prefer Liiva's... still, I wouldn't mind, if they didn't change the "Sound" in this song a bit... I wish it was like on Black Earth, just louder and with better quality.
I think Its because they heared it first along time ago. And they have memories of the old version. But I have been folowing this band for along time. And I prefer this version. I just think the vocals fit a little more for this type of sound. Anyway check out a kickass Melodic Death Metal Band from the states
I don't know why so many people prefer the old AE. Angela is so fucking awesome, that it's just impossible to compare her with other female metal vocalists... Liiva was great, but Angela is better. She's just a woman with balls ;p.
Angels is better, but the older songs were instrumentally better and more raw, anthems of rebellion is the unquestionable masterpiece, but it's only 10 tracks, wages of sin is 22 tracks and every track is incredible ;D thats my opinion anyway
@Chimhazzard i gotta say Burning Bridges is the masterpiece. for me anyway. i listen that album constantly. burning bridges is just undefinable. to me it seems like they were on a muse overdose on that album. they're all great though.... angela and johan both are good with arch enemy

@yovanimexico what do you think ? that if you'll write in your language I won't understand ? you're mistaken, baby ;d. go and suck your father's black dick, and leave normal people alone. damn psycho ...
@deadlight100 I don't have a problem with Angela, but don't think she mixes with Arch Enemy's older songs. Almost every song in this album just doesn't sit right with me. :/
I actually like this version better, if only for the much cleaner riffs. I agree, Angela is not on the top of her game for it, but overall, i like it better.
Morbid Angel kicks ass, and so does old Arch Enemy... Can't believe Angela decided to do an entire album on covers of their own songs, kind of strange if you ask me but it's still pretty good. Faster and more melodic then the original but i still prefer the originals of course.
Probably because they had already re-recorded it for Burning Bridges, and they said that the original version is perfect doesn't have to be touched up. Angelclaw is the best Liiva-song btw :P
Hmm really not sure about the production on this album, the guitars just seem to sound obscenely mechanical. This is what I would expect from a demo cd not a professional studio produced one...
i dont see anything wrong with the production, its nice and clear, could be sharper but its nice and bottom heavy. It has a similar production sound to doomsday machine
Hmm it just does not sound right to me, like I said it sounds very mechanical when compared to the old recordings, most of the songs I think sound better with that slightly muddier tone. That said its always great to hear new solos from the Amott brothers so its worth the purchase for that alone. Best..vibrato...EVAR!
@rockprogmetal Yeah Its does. I prefer this version more. Guess I'll go ahead and jump on the 'new singer in better bandwagon' just my opinion though.

the only think i would agree with ya is the all in all sound
the vocals were way worse, angey fits so much better
but summarized the whole roots of all evil album is disappointing in my
opinion
i like it more aggressive, not only the text but also the sound
rise of the tyrant was way better in my opinion, alltough i lilke here vocals in this one more
