Billy Talent - "Dead Silence"

I have to admit, I was really surprised when the album title was announced.
All in all I have to say that the new work of Canadians, "Dead Silence", is managed by and by. The biggest difference is that the songs are more complex and thus less likely to go to the ear as yet from the first three albums. You have the album definitely give more time, but you will notice that after a period absolutely show the songs on quality. "Viking Death March" I knew before, and found it easy hammer, at first hearing also enthusiasm for the songs # showed 3-5 and # 8 and # 9, the other songs I learned later appreciate.
What irritated me somewhat, were the piano in "Swallowed up by the Ocean", which was previously never found in a piece of Billy Talent. I like to be honest is less, even if the song at the end is much better and also correctly shows emotion.
All in all, I can hardly set on favorites of the album, as each song is cool for just, but stinging in my eyes "Surprise, Surprise", "Crooked Minds" and "Man Alive!" nor particularly out, but every song should be paid to this album special attention.
