When I heard the CD for the first time, I was disappointed. Unlike its predecessors, "Ashes of the Wake" is rather quiet. Sometimes it sounds as if the five guys suddenly changed the genre. Fortunately they have not been impacted, because the latest disc can still hear well and is on a - on log - New fashion good. Musically, the CD may have been a progress, log technically but rather a step backwards, therefore only 3/5 stars
