I think that is time to prepare for the next album... it's gonna be a tough call ;P Anyway, The Killer is out, it's time for Unafraid.

Unafraid for sure. It has a glorious chorus but everything else about it sucks. The riff that accompanies the dialogue clips sounds like the most generic Attitude Era wrestling entrance theme.

Unafraid does have a good chorus (great even), but my issue with it is that it never really moves past it & the whole song just ends up feeling like a 5 minute intro as a result. It's still more than I can say for most of the album, but at least that one had potential.
