Woods of Ypres are fucking frustrating to listen to. I listened to this band's 3 albums and 1 EP, and I only enjoyed 'The Deepest Roots and Darkest Blues' because honestly it's the only release by this band worth two shits. That album had some interesting black metal aspects, but none of them are present here on The Green Album.

I can't stand this band's clean vocals. They sound like Nickelback. Thankfully, they don't have any hick-tastic lyrical themes, but the wrist-cutting tripe we have instead isn't much better:

"You pulled your things off the walls, took all that was yours. You packed your books into boxes and placed them at the door. You emptied your half of our closet, and went through the drawers. Taking it all for granted and left what was left for me on the floor."

"Photos and notes go into the sink Under all the hot water the faucet could give Now my dreams are just running ink Going down the drain

By the time you read this, I will already be gone Do not reply to this, but realize what you have done By the time you read this, it will already be true Do not reply to this, just understand what you made me do"

"PAIN! Life is just pain and piss. PISS! It''s nothing that I will miss. I'm always doing something to hurt myself just trying to feel alive"

Seriously, shut the fuck up.

Musically, this is uninspiring. Nothing spectacular is played on any instrument. It just goes in one ear and out the other. Some people might compare the music to Borknagar (which, being a Borknagar fan, nauseates me), but the only thing to be said by me on that matter is that they have done it ten times better.

Skip this album. It's pain and piss; nothing you're going to miss.
