 Unseen, however, would surely have been better not to hear, let alone see.

 The melodies sound wrong, out of tune, out of place, forced, bad.

The review critically assesses The Haunted's 2011 album 'Unseen,' lamenting its departure from the band's thrash metal roots towards a forced melodic hardcore style. It highlights previous successes and lineup changes but sees 'Unseen' as a low point, with poor melodies and misdirected experimentation. The reviewer concludes that the band should return to their original thrash sound to satisfy their purpose and fans. Explore The Haunted's discography to experience their thrash roots and understand what went wrong with 'Unseen.'

 The latest album from Swedish band Hardcore Superstar neither adds nor takes away anything from what has already been heard in previous works.

 All the songs on the album are potential live repertoire classics, suitable for entertaining and involving the audience with extremely singable choruses.

Split Your Lip by Hardcore Superstar maintains the band's established hair-metal sound without notable innovation. The album features catchy melodies and singable choruses, making it enjoyable and suitable for live shows. Lyrics are intentionally shallow and revelrous. While fans will appreciate this record, it offers no surprises or significant evolution. Listen to Hardcore Superstar’s Split Your Lip for classic hair-metal anthems and energetic live-ready tracks!
