Arriving just one year after the band's ambitious 2013 concept album Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones, Black Veil Brides' eponymous fourth long-player continues the Tinseltown rockers' evolution from faceless metalcore noisemakers to Sunset Strip-burning glam metal revivalists with a fetish for grandiose, turn of the century emo. Bereft of the narrative that helped propel their last outing, BVB spends most of its time throwing things into the air and hoping something sticks, and while it may be polished, sharply honed, and delivered with confidence, it lacks both the gravitas and the hooks to get under your skin, despite how very badly it wants to impress. ~ James Christopher Monger.
