_TWW_ is at its heart a thrash metal album, but tempered by a melodic edge and more modern influences, even crossing over into power metal territory on several occasions. The expected lucid production allows them to display their fairly technical prowess to the fullest. The biggest failing are the vocals, which are too metalcore for my liking, though I imagine that there are many who would disagree with me.

Unlike some of their contemporaries, they are obviously talented; and while they are not groundbreaking innovators, _TWW_ is far from cookie cutter metal and infinitely more skilled than the rapcore bullshit that pollutes radio playlists. If this is the face of mainstream metal to come, then bring it on!
