See? I said this band had potential to make something interesting and here it is. 'The Great Stone War' easily beats the first two albums that Winds of Plague have made.

They've toned it down with the breakdowns. They're still there, but they're either more interesting (with keyboards) and/or not as long. Otherwise, this album has everything they've done right with 'Decimate the Weak' and improved on it even more.

They're starting to discard their hardcore wigger attitude as well ("FUCK YOU! GET THE FUCK OUT!" - "The Implater" from 'Decimate the Weak'). The only song where the lyrics really fit that hardcore mindset is "Forged in Fire", which is actually my favorite song from this.

I can't give this more than four stars, though. Although I do like this album much more than their previous efforts, it does get kinda samey. So this album might not be suitable for listening to too often, it's still worth checking out even if their other albums are deplorable.
