Love Song starts out as equally unimpressive, although the vocals do change somewhat throughout the song to give them a bit more character. Parts of it are catchy, but overall it doesn't give me a good feeling about the album as this has all been done before, and by better bands. The song also follows a pretty stand verse-chorus and then goes into various breakdowns with clean vocals interspersed among them. Andreas Dorner's voice really does not stand out at all to me. Then the vocals come in and I'm even more unimpressed. The first song, 24 Years, sets down a pretty quick pace with some distorted, modern sounding riffs that are pretty generic. Unfortunately that's what this album is going to give you. The album title itself didn't hold much promise for me because it sounds like just another title for average, generic metalcore. So here we are in 2009 which sees the German band releasing their sixth studio album, Say Hello To Tragedy. I had heard some of their older material and found it better, but ultimately it was not good enough to make me a fan. It sounded to me like a very generic, albeit catchy, metalcore song that was loaded with breakdowns and clean vocals and really went nowhere. I first heard Caliban way back in 2005 when their song The Beloved And The Hatred was getting a lot of playtime on MTV2, Fuse, and the like.
