Black Veil Brides have clearly tried to grow and release a more serious sounding album with their self-titled. As Jake and Jinxx said, they want this to be some people’s first BVB album, trying to open themselves up to a larger audience.

That being said, this album takes us back to the earlier days of the band when things were heavier and Andy would scream in most songs. These moments are the vocal highlights of this album, as the melodic singing has been edited just that little bit too much. We do still get a feel for Andy’s deep tones which the fans have grown so familiar with that give the band their unique sound.

Guitar solos are given more of a place on this record, giving Jake and Jinxx the chance to really shine through. If you thought they were talented on past albums you’ll love what they do here. ‘Devil In The Mirror’ introduces the first epic guitar solo three tracks in, while the 8th track, ‘Walk Away’, echoes Guns ‘N Roses, at nearly 6 minutes long and featuring two well executed instrumentals.

As with any good album, despite trying to head back in a more metal direction, there is still a variety of sound on this release, ranging from the softer tones of ‘Walk Away’, to radio friendly ‘Hearts On Fire’, and the predominantly screamed ‘Stolen Omen’.

Overall this is a well written album, and it’s clear the band have been working hard, with the instrumental skills soaring from the what we heard on Wretched And Devine… so much so the guitars tend to overshadow Andy’s vocals, although he does take the reins back in ‘Drag Me To The Grave’ and ‘The Shattered God’. --- hitthefloor.com

Set The World On Fire is the second album released from Black Veil Brides. Without going into too much detail, their first album was full of recycled, over-used riffs and just a un-innovative, generic metalcore record. I am happy to say that the second album is better in this sense than the first.

Black Veil Brides is much better this time around. Singer Andy Beirsack has dropped the screaming in most of the songs, which is a good thing because he is not good at it frankly. Black Veil Brides new drummer, C Coma, brings some impressive double-bass drums beats to the album. These beats help push the music forward for the most part. On the downside, the bass is never heard except for in the bass intro in The Legacy. Guitar parts are catchy, infectious, and somewhat complex.

What makes this album worth while to listen to? Black Veil Brides took a metal/hard rock approach to this album. Most of the tracks are either quick-paced melodic songs or groove-riff head bangers. More than anything, most of the tracks are fun to listen to this time around.

That being said, not every track is a good. Alot of this album is really hit and miss. The album starts off very strong; however the last few tracks feel very tacked on and bland. I feel like the last few tracks are just filler to make the album longer. In my opinion, Set The World On Fire would be a stronger album without them.

In the end, some will like it, some will hate it. The band has taken a lot of flack in general for their image and attitude. It is unfortunate that many people will not even give this album a chance because they already hate the band. --- ForgetTheFallen, sputnikmusic.com

With their third album, Black Veil Brides complete their transformation from a heavily made-up metalcore band to a full-fledged gothic glam metal band, mixing drama and swagger on the sprawling and conceptual Wretched & Divine. Channeling the freewheeling power of Mötley Crüe into their moody sound, the album finds the band really carving out a niche for themselves among the faceless waves of metalcore/post-hardcore acts. While the 19-song Wretched & Divine is ostensibly a concept album complete with a two-act structure and recurring elements, stripping those elements away reveals an album that is, at its core, a pretty straightforward set of ripping glam metal. Though the conceptual elements do a great job of tying the album into the band's dark image, the music at the heart of the album is solid all on its own. That said, the two come together to create a pretty entertaining package of over the top rock & roll escapism, drawing the listener into the gloomy world created by Black Veil Brides before attempting to rock their socks off with some old-fashioned riffage and big singalong choruses. For fans of the band, the transition from metalcore to third wave glam will have been a (relatively) long time coming, given their steady transition to make their sound match their teased-out appearance. For anyone else who might've picked up this album and immediately began searching for the release date after seeing the bands photo on the back cover, Wretched & Divine is a solid album of neo-hard rock that might just be the thing your inner Crüe fan has been looking for. --- Gregory Heaney, Rovi
