3 stars "The Fifth Time I Died" is the second full-length studio album by multi-national metal act Liquid Graveyard. The album was released through Rising Records in March 2011. Itīs the successor to "On Evil Days" from 2009 and there have been two lineup changes since the predecessor as bassist Adrian de Buitléar has been replaced by Al Jimenez and drummer Acaymo Delgado has been replaced by Gustavo Segura. Only guitarist John Walker and vocalist Raquel Walker remain from the lineup who recorded "On Evil Days".

Stylistically the material on "The Fifth Time I Died" continues the hybrid death metal, thrash/groove metal, progressive metal, avant-garde metal style of "On Evil Days". Walker still sings both snarling blackened extreme metal vocals and clean vocals. The album is both well performed and well produced (although the sound production has a dry digital quality to it, which is a bit lifeless), but just as the case was on the previous album, the songwriting leaves a bit to be desired. The tracks are powerful and also entertaining while they play, but they arenīt particularly memorable. "The Fifth Time I Died" is still a good quality release, and I find it intriguing at some points, but as a whole listening experience itīs not consistent enough. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
