The new Bullet For My Valentine album "scream aim fire" is acully a very good metal album loaded with memorable coruses, catchy guitar melodys, and very good musicianship. These guys are great guitar players, and have some really sick leads. these guys are often criticized by many metal fans for being "screamo" but thats a stupid word thrown around too much. this is just a very good metal album! no other way to say it.

fans of soilwork, in flames, trivium, old metallica, and sonic syndicate will enjoy these guys. fans of metal should like this!

Wasn't turned on to BFMV until The Poison. Enjoyed it very much. A little modern mixed with metal. Interesting mix. Had to check Scream Aim Fire and was I thrilled. Of course everyone is gonna have their own opinion. I liked it. It kind of reminded me of 8o's hair vs. modern metal. Real cool mix. I'm a big fan of 80's hair and hit the spot.The standouts...Eye Of The Storm,Scream Aim Fire,Hearts Burst Into Fire,Take It Out On Me and Forever and Always.If you were hesitant on buying,don't be. It does sounds a bit different than The Poison, but rocks hard!!!!!A solid 4 stars for a hard rocking goodie.

Ever since The Poison, BFMV has been my favorite band. The guitar riffs and musicianship is amazing. Matt Tuck screamed his head off in The Poison, but he shows his dynamic vocal range in this album. Some people say that this band is screamo. Just for those who are too told to understand, Screamo is Senses Fail, The Used, Funeral for a Friend, The Bled. If you don't know who that is then look em up and figure out the difference. I love the diversity in BFMV's albums (i.e. The Poison vs. The End- First Album; Waking the Demon vs. Song #8- Scream Aim Fire). I give this Album 5 stars and I cant wait to see what they come out with next. P.S. For those who claim this band is screamo, go to Taste of Chaos Tour, let the BFMV fans show you the difference between moshing in BFMV and screamo!

The title track, which is their single is amazing. I assumed that was their sound. I bought both of their cds at the same time and should've reviewed more. The cd starts off with the title track. The next two are almost as good. Then it gets more and more like emo as it goes on. I thought they would release the most radio friendly as the single and the rest would be like Children Of Bodom. Instead I heard a Metallica Master Of Puppets single and the rest is Reload!

Scream Aim Fire is getting notorious for being Bullet for my Valentine's second album, and there are debates as to whether their first album, The Poison, is better or worse. It is true, that the band has altered their sound slightly, but it certainly DOES NOT make it worse or takes away from BFMV's talent. The Poison was more of a metal-core album, with most of the songs being related to love and breakups, whereas SAF is more reminiscent of classic, 80's metal. Whether you will like this album better than The Poison is based on your own taste.

1. Scream Aim Fire - 10/10. Powerful and attention catching.
2. Eye of the Storm - 7/10. Weakest song on the album, but that too bad.
3. Heart Burst Into Fire - 10/10. Powerful and emotional, and a joy to listen to.
4. Waking The Demon - 10/10. Amazingly powerful and catchy.
5. Disappear - 10/10. Good song.
6. Deliver Us From Evil - 10/10. Probably the band's next single.
7. Take it out on Me - 9/10. Awesome.
8. Say Goodnight - 9/10. A sweet ballad.
9. End of Days - 10/10. Great.
10. Last to Know - 8.5/10.
11. Forever and Always - 10/10. A great power ballad.

Almost every single song on this album is extremely catchy and I never skip any of them. I recommend this album to any hard rock or metal fan.

This is a really good album. They have moved away from Metalcore and sound more like traditional Speed-Metal from the 80' or 90's. This is why, I suspect, that others have made comparisons with Metallica (which are misplaced, IMO). Perhaps the best part of SAF is that we have more actual vocals. Let's face it: Metalcore vocals suck. Here, there is actual singing for most of the songs. Very nice.

The song-writing seems more developed but there are still some all-out thrashers on this one. Cool solos and riffs on most songs. Some people will probably whine that BFMV has sold out but I say they're just maturing as musicians.

Recommended.

Just because bands decide to emulate 80's thrash metal doesn't mean that they ARE becoming bands of the 80's thrash scene...
Let it go people (especially if you weren't even alive in the 80's).
80's thrash like Slayer, Exodus, Metallica (80's) and Testament gave us the best type of music (metal and non-metal) ever produced...
Today bands like Lamb of God, God Forbid, Shadows Fall, Chimaira and Trivium are finally realizing that thrash is the best metal influence to produce the best type of metal music of today...
Bullet For My Valentine's Scream, Aim, Fire is the latest release to confirm this NOW fact of the metal world today...Thrash is it...
Fast paced, extremely technical riffs are what TRUE metal fans want...Because metal music should be angry, full of adrenaline and power...
Scream, Aim,Fire (best metal name for a CD, by the way) is just that...Best metal release of 2008 (so far)...

Love Bullet For My Valentine!!!!!! These guys are so awesome!!!! I love their music! This CD is really good!

I take my daily dose of The Poison everyday. Bullet For My Valentine perscribed it to me. I just love their music!!!!!!!

when i say that bullet for my valentine is my 7th fave band don't think that means that i don't listen to them as much as my first 6. in fact i listen to bfmv more than any band. there songs are instantly rocking and are stuck in my head for days. i loved hand of blood and i loved the poison and guess what i love this one too. its been a long 2 years waiting for this one to come out. also this cd and basically all of them are great for dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi 3 which i have been playing hardcore in the last few days. if you love heavy metal or hard rock get this cd(and the other two) the music,solos,and singing(yes the singing) will blow you away. my fave songs so far are hearts burst into fire and waking the demon.(ive listend to the cd about 3 or 4 times so far and i'm never bored of it)

I was a huge fan of "The Poison" the fast riffs, the great screams and memorable lyrics so needless to say i had huge expectations for the next album, and it succeeded. Scream, Aim, Fire is definatly worth a listen, with a modern twist on the throwback sounds of the good ol' days of metal (metallica and megadeth). I was a little concerned when I heard the lead singer had surgery, but it didn't seem to be a big factor in this record, I was really impressed with the harmony singing overtop of the hardcore metal riffs. So if you're looking for a good record with the perfect mix of extreme energy to headbang to and with enough heart to make you stop and appreciate the lyrics, Scream, Aim, Fire is a must have.
