Exit Emotions is the fifth studio album by Finnish nu metal band Blind Channel, released on 1 March 2024, through Century Media Records.

Reception

[edit | edit source]

Reviews were mostly positive, although with a handful of notable negative reviews.

Sam Law of Kerrang rated the album four out of five, highlighting the pop influences present in the album.[1] Danniii Leivers of Louder Sound also gave a positive review at 7/10.[8] Another positive 7/10 review by metal-exposure.com compared the album to that of My Chemical Romance and Avenged Sevenfold.[2] Tom Fordham of Distorted Sound gave the album 9/10, describing it as "an album that is action-packed, cathartic, and filled with earworms" and stating that the reader would "be hard pressed to find a band in nu-metal that do it better at the moment".[3] v13.net states in a positive review that "although it contains many of the tried and tested tropes of what was delivered in the golden age of nu-metal, it still feels refreshing".[9] Rock Overdose Greece consider Exit Emotions "[the band's] best record to date".[10]

Negative reviews of the album dismissively compared the success of Blind Channel to that of Måneskin, also known for their popularity as a result of the Eurovision Song Contest. Joe Edwards of Boolin Tunes panned the record with a 1.5/10 review, claiming that "each track is packed with inoffensive instrumentals, designed to appease a wide radio rock audience, topped with lyricism that will be seen as comical to any sensible mind".[11] Luke Nuttall, in an only slightly more positive review, considered the album an improvement over Lifestyles of the Sick & Dangerous, but was otherwise unimpressed.[12]
