If you happen to be allergic to radio-friendly rock/metal, start running now; if not, the good news is that like on _Darkness Between_, said friendliness does not come at the expense of pandering to the latest trend. _Damnation to Salvation_ is solid and consistent throughout, although on the other hand it fails to produce an outstanding track that really takes it to a different level, and doesn't really show any real attempt at innovation to speak of.
