Bullet For My Valentine

Scream Aim Fire

Label: SonyBMG Release Date: 21/01/2008

31819
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver January 21st, 2008

Now, this is_ funny. Tattooed young men with silly facial hair rocking out to the sound of 1986, in 2008, and winning an on-line (at least) following big enough to fill Wembley eleven times over or more. _‘Scream Aim Fire’ is ridiculous: four minutes of shouting and swearing set against some tight-as riffs that, while technically applaud-worthy, leave everyone but spotty Slipknot-hoodie teens and denim-all-over crusties utterly cold. Bullet For My Valentine have supported G ‘N R, Maiden and Metallica in the past; someone should tell ‘em that’s all they’ll ever do, and that the positions have quite evidently been filled. Thanks, and all, but no thanks. This is truly tiresome.
