Hypocrisy - A Taste of Extreme Divinity [2009]

It starts off far more promising than Virus. Way heavier than Virus. Catchy, with bouts of grinding. Production has improved a little. I'm not a fan of the more popular-sounding melodic riffing. It's much better than most of their new albums. However, it still isn't as good and black as The Arrival.

Hypocrisy - The Arrival [2004]

Could not be more different from C22. Great songwriting. Catchy, but still brutal. Always dark and on the edge of being Black Metal. Each song is good in its own way. The production, while not crystal clear, lends itself very much to the atmosphere of the album.

Hypocrisy - Catch 22 [2002]

Starts off heavy and thrashy. Catchy and really cool distorted vox. Pretty cool second track, but it starts to move a little into nu-metal. It's still catchy, though, the lyrics seem to be really simplistic and cliché. Yeah, it's definitely moving more into nu metal. The "clean" vox are beginning to grate on my nerves. No creativity on this album at all. All the songs are exactly the same. It really feels like a typical Swedish attempt to sell out. Very very few decent songs on this one… tracks 1 and 8 are the only ones worth listening to.
