Bullet For My Valentine: Scream Aim Fire mixes the fundamental core of bands like Megadeth and Metallica with the more embarrassing fundamentals of lighter hair rock. The Deluxe Edition of Scream Aim Fire fortunately balances the two styles but ultimately fails in the bands teen angst approach alienating listeners looking for more music and less adittude.

The two disc deluxe edition is jam packed with features. Eleven tracks plus four bonus tracks totaling fifteen all together plus three music video’s and some goofy footage of the bands day to day lives titled Bullet TV. As an add on you also get Scream Aim Fire: The Comics, very short, sometimes incoherent snippits that are inspired by the lyrics to each song in PDF form which sometimes add up to a big fat WTF. There’s a lot of material making this a really good value in our pressing economic times, especially for the demographic the band plays to, mainly teenagers. As clichéd as it seems the band really is all about the speed and anger of adolescence translating mostly the same kind of vibe I can recall about seventeen years ago when Metallica were king and bands like Pantera and Biohazard were taking the genre to new heights. Bullet takes the genre a step back, maybe to pay homage, but at times maybe going back to far for their own good.
