Gravity (Bullet for My Valentine album)

Upon its release, Gravity received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, primarily due to the band's departure from their signature metalcore/thrash metal sound to a more nu metal style. Jeff Treppel of MetalSucks gave the album an extremely negative 0.5 out of 5, criticizing the sound for being a "bastard hybrid of Linkin Park-style radio rock" as well as the album's lyrical content and Matt Tuck's vocals.{{Cite news|url=http://www.metalsucks.net/2018/06/14/album-review-bullet-for-my-valentines-gravity/|title=Album Review: Bullet for My Valentine's Gravity|date=2018-06-14|work=MetalSucks|access-date=2018-09-03|language=en-US}} A significantly more positive review came from Lukas Wojcicki of Exclaim!, who stated that the "newly implemented formula works as intended", and commented that the "tracks are easily digestible and regrettably catchy", although stated that "metal purists" would find the album "frustrating".{{Cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/bullet_for_my_valentine-gravity|title=Bullet For My Valentine Gravity|website=exclaim.ca|language=en|access-date=2018-09-03}}
