Can't wait to see Within Temptation, Epica and Lacuna Coil at Summer Breeze in São Paulo!

Ainda me recuperando do show de ontem no Summer Breeze! A banda não decepciona, a Sharon arrebentou nos vocais!!! Tocaram "The Cross" e chorei tanto.

So, after giving it several tries, I've formed an opinion on Bleed Our, and I think it's... kinda meh. Okay-ish ar best. It's not actively bad, it's just... not one of those "Put everything on hold, Within Temptation have released a new album" kind of moments. Its overall sound and musical direction would be interesting, but it lacks substance. The songs are good but not memorable, some sound kinda same-y (and I purposedly avoided listening to most of the barrage of singles beforehand, so the album wouldn't feel too old upon release). Also, the best track is Worth Dying For, but I've spent the last sixteen-ish years mocking Nightwish for recycling the same four songs album after album, so I can't in good conscience pretend it's not little more than an In The Middle Of The Night stealth remake. I don't hate the album, but it doesn't leave much of an impression. It sounds like they HAD to write an album, and that's the best they could come up with.

Ritual is probably my favorite off of the new album. It is a treasure among treasures.

I think the previous release of almost 80% of the songs spoiled all the enchanting around the album (at least for me), only four songs are truly new. And they aren't so chocking at the first listening. In the fact at the first listening a plenty of them seems to be made from the same "formule." Well, I must say the last song is definitely "Unbroken," don't know why "Entertain You" is there. I believe that in a couple of months I will be mind changed about this album.

New album out! I think Resist is better actually, while Bleed Out is quite more heavier, i didn't like the production, sometimes it becomes an indistinguishable wall of sound, midways i got a little ear fatigue, and the melodies and lyrics don't save it or compensate it, although Resist was more "tame" the overall work felt more carefully crafted and cohesive, the production was pristine the melodies were memorable, it had hat WT recognizable sonority and essence, Bleed Out it's lacking something for me even tho i overall liked it and it has its strong songs.

Big improvement over Resist, but Entertain You is poorly placed - Unbroken is the true ending song!

While I actually like Entertain You I don't think it suits the style of the album, It should have been left out and should have stayed as a stand-alone single.

I'd say it was weaker than Resist, only some songs are really new ones and a lot of the melodies blunder into one. The production drowns the drumming in a way that makes the song sounds soulless and less appealing than they would otherwise be to me, but Resist also had that issue for the most part.

There's no reason to pretend I didn't listen to the album before official release lol. I think is pretty similar to Resist sonically so I quite like it, but their decisions for promotion didn't excite me at all after some time, I feel like Bleed Out is already old, there are tracks from before the pandemic which is really crazy to think about and don't see myself listening to the whole thing anymore. I don't think I can listen to Shed My Skin and Entertain You EVER again (I kinda hate these tracks nowadays lmao). Releasing it as an EP (without The Purge, Don't Pray For Me, Shed My Skin and Entertain You) would've been so much better imho, but there's no reason to be disappointed at this anymore. Fav track: Worth Dying For, the best part of what WT is today is encapsulated in this track.

"Ritual" is a cool pop oriented song from them, but i have to say, i don't appreciate that how she sings some vocal lines sound straight up from an imagine dragons, ed sheeran or coldplay song, i like when they do pop most of the time, because they do it their own and Sharon still sings it her way, i think i've never heard her co-opting and assimilating contemporary pop singing style in one of their songs like this...

I was hoping for The Aftermath live songs in the new album as extras, and they did a new album with live version with Bleed Out (Live From Hell) but sadly with songs from Elements again...

Weird choice after weird choice coming from them lately. Weird thing is that they played Faster and Mother Earth on Summer Breeze 2022 (and ME on Hellfest). They even had Shed My Skin also on Summer Breeze with Christoph Wieczorek, but I don't think that performance really worked lol.

I simply can't listen to Shed My Skin and Entertain You anymore. I like the other singles very much tho, but I don't know, maybe they should have released all of this as EPs, not an album. It won't feel like an album at all.
