Why you buy albums

Each song blends so well together that to listen to them individualy is robbing yourself of an experience.
this album is Halestorm's "Swan Song"

this album is almost experimental, with songs all over the place. some songs have almost a pop influence (Scream, Unapologetic, Bad Girls World), some songs are slower/intimate (Dear Daughter, The Reckoning, What Sober Couldn't Say), and some really heavy stuff (I Am The Fire, Mayhem, Apocalyptic, I LIke It Heavy). but every single song on this album fits with each element represented perfectly. The music flows with the voice, the lyrical content hits the message, and there's enough difference to feed whatever sound you want to hear. in my opinion this is a perfect album and possibly Halestorm's greatest album they'll ever release. It's groovin', it's emotional, it delivers several different messages, and it is very UNAPOLOGETIC!!! very happy with this one.
Love the band

I wasn't familiar with Halestorm, but I heard "I am the Fire" on the Wayward Sisters pilot, and I had to buy this!
Old Stuff is Better

Love Apocalyptic, Scream, The Reckoning, and What Sober Couldn't Say, but a lot of the rest seems super auto-tuned compared to earlier stuff. Honestly, I hate the new auto-tuned approach. This album isn't bad—Halestorm never comes out with bad songs—but I simply like the old stuff better.
On fire!

Pure power. I'm obsessed with Lzzy Hale's voice. "I am the Fire" is the best track in my mind - play it loud in the car and feel the energy course through your veins, especially if you're a singer who can match her. Now if only we had it on vinyl with giant speakers so we can really hear the intricacies. Time to call up Dave Grohl!
I loved it

I think this album is very good. It seems to be getting some 3 star reviews. This album is definitely worth at least 4 stars in my opinion it deserves 5. The common complaint seems that it isn't "heavy" enough or it's not rock enough? Not every song can be metal, sometimes a story needs to have a softer melody. Lzzy and Halestorm, keep doing what you're doing. It's great!
Best album in decades.

This is one of the best albums of all time. Outstanding vocals of Lzzy Hale and stand out guitar riffs are the centerpiece of this amazing album. It features songs ranging from hard rock to ballads and traditional bluesy rock.

I find her more soulful. I find this album very enjoyable and plan to listen to the remaining songs on the way home. Its a nice blend of soulful vocals and rock n roll. You can see the band maturing. I'm not a big fan of Lzzy the screamer. She does have a strong voice, but I find this album highlights how beautiful her voice is as well as strong. I loved the guitar riffs that play, sometime in the background as she sings. This will be an album I play again and again. I believe even my wife will like it. She is more of an alternative rock person. Thank you for sharing!
Terri, said that Hailstorm is being criticized by loyal followers, because the album is not as hard rock. I have to believe they are not real music lovers. I love when band breaks out of the typical. Led Zeppelin was always changing up. If you listen to the first two albums which are alike and then listen to led Zep III, its completely different, as compared to Zep IV as compared to Houses of the Holy, presence etc... This is a mark of a great band.
Solid Rock Album but Lacks Edge

Halestorm is a fanastic rock band that skirts the 'metal' edge on most of their albums. This album was recorded with all the band members together, in Nashville. It has a more 'organic' sound but that didn't transfer to a better record. Instead, if feels really country/pop and that's a shame. I like the record, but it doesn't have the staying power of their previous albums. Sort of how I felt when Metallica released Load and Reload, I was like it's an okay album, but I don't really care to hear it over and over.
