The worst song on this album is still one of their 20 best songs. This album and Ascendancy are head and shoulders above the rest of their discography

I started listening to Trivium with Ascendancy when it came out. I love the album ( I am partial to it for that reason), but Shogun is on another level for me. I feel it has a distinct concept and direction. It's a perfect mix of Trivium's sound, while being progressive. It also helps I have an undying love for all things Samurai and Japan!

Any other Trivium album doesn't even come close, their best by a mile. [9]....IMO this is their most solid and advanced musically (composition wise) record, and probably the best production wise. The Crusade and Ascendancy are really good record but to me they sound like they we're still searching for their sound, on Shogun it really sounds that they finally found their sound and style, very unique to me, i've never heard any band sounding like this like ever, and all of this only to fall down to somewhat disappointing "in waves" and then the very disappointing "vengeance falls", i don't even have the words to describe how bad their last records sound like (imo).

Any other Trivium album doesn't even come close, their best by a mile. [8] A good mix between Ascendency and The Crusade. I believe Matt in an interview during the Shogun era said that this album was "the past, present and future of Trivium", which I'm ready to agree on. In Waves kinda progressed from this, although I don't like that album very much.

I'll share the majority of the comments here by saying this is the album I keep coming back to, one of my all-time favourite albums.

Doesn't hold a candle to Ascendancy. Too slow, not thrashy enough, the down-tuning didn't make it heavy. Its not bad, but its really nothing more than meh. Maybe all the love is from people who didn't get into Trivium until this album? I started with Embers, so The Crusade and this were totally downgrades. In Waves came along though and is a good return to form.

In my opinion, Shogun is the best album of modern metal ever made until today. A complex and powerful masterpiece.

By far their best album. Looks destined to be the one that got away in terms of general acceptance though... should have made this band. Instead it somehow slipped by so the band tried to experiment on their next record, and we ended up with In Waves... *sigh*

Don't understand all the love for this album. It's good at best. Not great. Ascendancy and The Crusade were both better. [2]

This album is such fantastic stuff, if only the rest of their records measured up.
