This is basically an alt.metal album coated in djent and pop punk at the same time.

The repetition is strong, half the djenty songs sound like they're b-sides from other bands' albums, the electronics are dated and unimpressive, don't even add much in most of the songs they're used in. At the same time I think this is a more enjoyable album than their last one, as the only truly great song on it is Stitch, the rest are crazy samey and unmemorable, here they definitely outdid themselves with production and variety, but it's still just something that a 16 year old me would've loved, now i'm just meh on a lot of what they're going for from technical standpoint, but man are some of these choruses catchy, for example Grave is very I Prevail but it bangs.

Ghost is easily the best song on this, yet it feels like something JT Cavey era Erra would do and not on their best day.

World changing record.

I hope the people who were begging for it enjoy it, otherwise all the thirst was for nothing.

I’ve probably never seen so many downvotes spread around in a single topic. Damn man, that’s rough lol

[jagr68 16]

thanks

I remember when they were making “pressure” they said that the new music was gonna sound sound like “Johnny cash” and “gravity” they sure were right about that but it’s still a decent album  

[LinaK 310]

it's so generic to call this album generic, i cant believe so many generic people claim this album is generic because they have never been not generic but now its generic hm

count amount of generic in this thread, its too much generic

p.s. generic

[Nightlife 0]

Soooo .. Does anyone else's download have Hurt cutting off at the end? 

[Burst 480]

Not bad, but nothing "OH SO AMAZING!!!" either. It is "good", just "good".

 

Forget My Name, Me against Myself and Fury are my favs.

[FallenZA 313]

It’s nothing exceptional but geez it’s not that awful either. Still better than TDWP xD

Did people expect AOTY? This band was never gonna be king of core

 

Overall it's a 7/10, will be thrown on shuffle. 

 

It's a good album for what they tried to do with it

are you rating albums high in general? 7/10 is pretty high... iT#s more of a 5.5 or 6  for me. Some good songs. Mostly mediocre. For something i only put on shuffle i found you rate it pretty high ^^'

[DisturbedOne 1,182]

Well gotta say i loved these guys first 2 albums immensely and even the singles were all good but pretty much the rest of the album just is not good. Ghost is the only one i really enjoyed and maybe Hurt. This album just in no way shapes up even close to the first 2 albums lyrically or energetically 

[zaintwolf 32]

first 2 album are great, this one is okay

[Andydobson12 152]

I feel really split on this album wouldn't say it's bad but then wouldn't say it's good 

[cabose369 66]

The best songs on the album are the singles, The Line, and Fury. The rest of the album was just ok. Kind of a let down in my opinion. I was expecting a couple different sounding songs, but not nearly as many as there are on this album. Definitely a step back from how good Deadweight and Blueprints are.

[967-EVIL 3,379]

Fuck yeah!!!

 

[Swanny 364]

So Me Against Myself is a Beartooth sound alike? I was waiting for him to announce the clarity being the cure of his disease in the intro. 

[neebnoob18 926]

My goodness, Grave is beautiful

[PositiveOutlook 56]

Listened to it twice this morning. I can’t get into it. A few okay songs but one thing I will say is the singing on every chorus just sounds so repetitive and the same. The sort of template and format they use for their songs has really grown old over three albums. I’ve enjoyed each album less and less. Probably won’t have the desire to ever listen to this again. The new In Search Of Solace album on the other hand...damn solid release!

Wage War - Pressure Review:

Who I am - 5/5
Prison - 4.5/5
Grave - 4/5
Ghost - 3.5/5 - love the guitar riffs in this one
Me Against Myself - 4.5/5
Hurt - 4.5/5
Low - 4.5/5
The Line - 4.5/5
Fury - 4/5
Forget my Name - 3.5/5
Take the Fight - 5/5
Will We Ever Learn - 3/5

 

My Opinion: 

As always this site gets debatey on a certain album or artists and fights break out so this is what I think and if u don't like it then keep it to yourself or if u want to be a dick and express it here cool let others know your a dick to others opinion on their taste  

This is what imma say. Am I a Wage War Fan? I consider yes after this record because I have not listened to their other stuff before. This was honestly my fav album front to back to listen to this year for sure. Of course, I rated songs but they were ok but not terrible like other albums including even Bad omens. Like I will listen to this album a lot more but we will see I say give it a listen and if u don't like it u don't like it easy and done. If you love it great if you don't then cool. 

[Poon Sauce McNasty 144]

I feel bad for Wage War that they have to play this crap live every night now. Could you imagine hearing this lame trash live every day??

[lapizza 57]

I've given it a couple listens. It's just OK. Even the couple juicy bangers are decent, nothing exceptional. Then everything just sounds so stupid generic. Lots of tracks had riffs that sound pretty promising, but then the rest of the song kinda ruined it. They could've done so much more, but what we have here doesn't wow me at all. Disappointed.

[Gvmbit 31]

It's  a good album, but nothing memorable. They better change the formula by LP4.

 

 

[Taylor Swift 913]

This is waayyy better than the previous comments make it out to be, give it a spin. 

[SCHREDZ 120]

Siiick & Intense album! Thanks @Lord Kingdom!

ah so this is the face of a wage war aotyist

[Gvmbit 31]

Little update, I fucking love Grave and Fury. those 2 stand out for me!

[Pahc4life03 101]

Ok so... 

It's not that this album is BAD, it's the fact that they're trying to do what alot of other bands have been doing. If I never knew the name of this band and listened to previous work, I would've never guessed it was the same band based upon what I've just heard, on a majority of the album. 

With that said, these guys weren't exactly "heavy" to begin with. They're your basic energetic metalcore band.

I do however, agree with a few of the comments that , people want change, yet, you get what you asked for. Don't change, you get repetitiveness and you'll still hear someone complaining. 

An honest 6/10 for me.
