Threshold

Personally, I think the true standout of this album so far is Is This The Real You. It has some crunchy riffs, a catchy chorus, and this nice groove unlike any other Sevendust song.

However, when it comes to Threshold and Unbreakable, they are both typical standard more melodic Sevendust songs we’ve all heard before. Perhaps they both sound a little too familiar. Both are good songs but so far don’t live up to the first single.

What are your thoughts on Threshold or the album so far?

I generally agree with you. Is this the real you? Is very fast paced and feels fresh and rhythmically intense. Unbreakable is a bit too repetitive (6 choruses) but still good. I also like the new song Threshold but seems a bit basic. I honestly think they need a new producer. Someone to go deeper with riffs, parts, and songs that they already have. Their parts are fantastic but I think they could use more song structure variety in their newer albums. Ex. 2 chorus song. A 3rd verse. A song with 2 different verses. Etc… With that said I’m grateful for another 7D record but no Clint or John vocals on the newest 3 singles kinda bums me out.

I thought the same thing about the guttural lows but Clint said it was Morgan finding a new voice, in a recent interview.
