(review) Billy Talent – Crisis of Faith

Canadian big time post hardcore punks Billy Talent are back with long awaited, several times delayed new album. Besides already known singles such as Forgiveness I+II there are all together ten songs on this one. Billy Talent got some really great innovations in their songwriting like saxophone solo, some keyboards, but it is still that nice melodic punk rock/post hardcore we all grown to love as the years went by. Songs like Reckless Paradise, Judged which are more straightforward punk song or I Beg To Differ are my personal favorites, but ballad The Wolf made my skin crawl with goosebumps, such fantastic melodies and backing vocal harmonies on that one. ForYou is another great example how superb this band is in their songwriting. Musicianship, songwriting, vocals, melodies, everything is just done really really on higher level concerning this record. Awesome new album!
