Misery Signals — Controller

It's hard to figure out where to start with Misery Signals' Controller. They received acclaim for both 2004's Of Malice And The Magnum Heart and 2006's Mirrors. Split between these releases however, was the love of fans and critics, with fans choosing the former and critics leaning towards the latter. Misery Signals have combined elements of the two previous releases on Controller to create an album that should unite both. Controller's 10 melodic metalcore tracks will astonish you if you're even a remote fan of the genre. While the album takes a couple of songs to get going, the overall product is top quality. Canadian Devin Townsend's production is flawless and a perfect complement to the music. Controller is simply one of the most controlling metal releases of the year.
