Chimaira Infection CD

 Classic
I thought it was a great album. Same style as usual. I like Frozen In Time, Impending Doom, Broken Glass the best. Some cool riffs there. Good timing with drums and guitars on sequences. The Heart of It All is a good instrumental. Kept me bangin my head. This cd rocks. I gotta check out the DVD. These dudes are cool and funny on they're DVD's.

 older stuff is better
this cd is much more groove metal and less of the thrash of the impossibility of reason days. after a few listens i started to enjoy it more but i was still looking and hoping for a much heavier cd, the drumming is superb though.

 Are you interested where it's "all-straight" groove metal?
I know KsE is the reason for the "push" of metalcore's success, so who would think of Chimaira "trending water", but since 2005's S/T LP, things are going down where the metalcore genre can lay flat as its foundation and instead you get what LoG are doing with their LP 'Wrath', so if you are interested in "what's left" of the metalcore genre, you gotta go back to 2003's 'The Impossibility of Reason' because Chimaira's MAJOR choice of producer, since 2003 (except for the Resurrection LP, which is the apex of the metalcore genre's feat for the band, their best by far!), is Ben Schigel. I bet this record will STILL appeal to some, but will alienate others if this isn't the type of record you'll find you want to listen to. In my opinion, The Infection LP is not their best record compared to Resurrection. Another bet, this band will sound good live, at least by far.

 Sub-par
I didn't get into Chimaira until their self-titled album and was blown away by it. And Resurrection was even better. I've listened to this album and nothing about it impresses me. All of the songs have very little to no momentum. They mostly drone along for about 4-5 minutes. It's not a bad album, but just nothing special. Which is a shame, because I had high hopes for this one.

 AWESOME RECORD!
i have all of chimaira's cds and i must say this one surprised me, change in musicstyle it seems to have been slowed down and made more groovy than the thrash elements. but it doesnt affect the songs in any way theyre great, the riffs, solos everything. id highly reccomend this album to anyone, i got it a day before it cameout haha :)
