Billy Talent: Billy Talent III

by Megan Edwards – Henry Wise Wood High School, Calgary AB Jul 22, 2009

4 stars

Powerful lyrics back Billy Talent’s fourth album.

Billy Talent III is an album full of power and depth. You really have to appreciate the substance of the lyrics, as each song tells a different story that is delivered so expertly by lead singer Ben Kowalewicz – from the sadness of White Sparrows to the heaviness of Devil on My Shoulder. Kowalewicz’s vocals have the strength to ricochet between whispers and screams while constantly serving up pure rock and roll. Billy Talent III is a great addition to any fan’s collection and could easily attract some new listeners with this kind of first-rate songwriting.

Megan’s fave track: Rusted from the Rain

I really like the songs "Rusted From the Rain" and "Devil on My Shoulder." "Billy Talent III" is number one on iTunes!

More of the same. Billy Talent has lost it's innovation.
