Parkway Drive's third venture 'Deep Blue'is yet another fantastic effort from the guys down under. The band has not strayed too far from their previous releases, albeit sounding slightly 'heavier' than in the past. Winston's vocal's yet again sound incredible on this record, dry and throaty with an awesome tone. Having gone with a different producer this time the record does take on a slightly different sound, Adam D of Killswitch Engage preferring a more 'clean n crisp' approach, this time round the boys have gone for a more 'in your face' production.
The critics that have noted that Parkway have not 'evolved' as a band, and are churning the 'same old sound' may have a point, but it is my opinion that if a band produces music as good as this, why change the formula? A band should not be merited on 'evolving their sound', rather the quality of the music it produces.
I don't believe there are any fillers on this album, which can be said for 'Horizons' for example. The drums are as gigantic sounding as ever, and the guitars intertwined with each other like never before, weaving galloping rhythms and ascending solos, the best example being 'Karma, quite possibly the best song on the album.
So my final point I guess is if your expecting anything different from these guys then I'm afraid you will be sadly disapointed, but if you loved these guys previous efforts you will be sure to fall in love with this.

Such a hench album. You like breakdowns, get it ;) Favrouits on the album would be Unrest, Sleepwalker, Alone, Deliver Me and Set To Destroy. Anyway I pretty much said the whole album is sick, so go buy it. It's worth it.

Well, I can't say much more than that! Best metal record of 2010. Please ignore the 1 star review, clearly written by a stick in the mud 'tru metal' warrior, probably sleeps with Manowar dolls or an Eddie teddy... bless.
Anyway - Deep Blue received 9 out of 10 in Metal Hammer, which is very unusual for a 'metalcore' band. This album is the culmination of the previous two albums (Killing with a Smile and Horizons) bringing both the fun aspects of KWAS and the forward thinking more mature direction of Horizons. Together they create the perfect blend of irresistibly exciting breakdowns (see KWAS's Anasasis {Xenophontis}) and intelligent yet accessible riffing (Carrion - Horizons) in songs such as third track Sleepwalker. You may just want to bounce out of your bedroom window whist air guitaring with a maniacal grin all over your face. Note - I wouldn't advise trying it...
This is certainly a step forward from Horizons which for all its intelligent song writing was simply not as much fun as KWAS. Now we have the best of both worlds on Deep Blue. Can't wait to see what they can come up with next.

...they obviously have no general taste of metal.
This album is heavier but at the same time far more technical, which in my opinion is a a great move by PWD! Read more

What happened?
This album is, if anything, a huge leap backwards for Parkway Drive. The sound quality is terrible, and the songs lack anything that catches your ear. Read more
