SYSTEMATIC CHAOS

In the prescensce of enemies part 1: possible my favorite song. It starts out with an amazing instrumental Then goes into the actual chorus. The whole song overall is good and well written.

Forsaken: I guess I would have to say that this is the radio tune of the album. Its really catchy and the lyrics will get stuck in your head. It lacks what your used to in traditional DT music.

Constant Motion: When I first heard this song I didn't really care for it so much. It has a very metallica feel to it. The more I listen to it the more I enjoy it. The instrumental part is pretty cool.

The Dark Eternal Night: I have mixed feelings about this song. Its the heaviest song on the album. The chorus is good although some of the lyrics get a little cheesy. Some parts of the song are so heavy I almost can believe im listening to DT. The song is still enjoyable although it feels like something you would hear from a heavy metal garage band at some points.

Repentence: This song is good. Its one of the slower songs on the disc but it still rocks. It gives me a really strange feeling that I like. The lyrics on smart and the music overall has kind of like a dark soothing sound. At the ending it can get repeptative but maybe adding somthing would have ruined the song.

Prophets of War: This song has like a techno dance beat going on. It will make you wanna start moving around. The chorus is good but the song is very repatative. It still has a good sound and people will still enjoy it.

The Ministry of Lost Souls: A great song with yet another dark but heavenly feeling. I enjoy the lyrics and the instrumental stuff in the song is awesome although I wouldn't say its DT's best.

In the Prescence of Enemies Part 2: It starts from where the first won left off. This is the part of the song that gets heavier and darker. The song at some points has the like snake charmer feeling. The lyrics and chorus are good and the soloing is good.

Overall the albume is awesome. Defenitely another surprise from DT and I think everyone will enjoy it. The ablum as a whole has a nice mood to it. 4.5/5 stars.
