Bullet For My Valentine - 'Bullet For My Valentine'

Let’s face it, Bullet For My Valentine have not made a decent record since 2010’s “Fever”, and even then it was two absolutely terrific tracks (‘Alone’ and’ Your Betrayal’) and quite a lot of filler. Since then they tried all manner of variations on their sound, but just haven’t managed to deliver anything that matches “The Poison” or “Scream Aim Fire”. This is yet another disappointment as (pardon the pun) there is no venom here, just lots of mediocre heavy rock tracks. There is nothing that stinks to high heaven but as consistent unit it smacks of a band fast running out of options.
