Main point:
One could compare Shadows Fall's Threads of Life to many records. The most important parallels, though, point to Korn's Take a Look in the Mirror and Poison's Flesh and Blood. None of the three releases sounds remotely like another.
The common thread: As nu- and hair-metal wore out their welcomes, those genre's leading acts released final statements of artistic conviction – then moved on. That's what Threads of Life does for metalcore, a brilliant movement finally gone stale.
Put simply, Threads of Life is the record Shadows Fall was made to make. The 11 tracks boast boatloads of catchy melodies, demanding musicianship and amazing songcraft.
