\"\"The path that Any Given Day<\/b> have travelled down to arrive at this point is a well-worn one. Initially closer to deathcore, they\u2019ve only moved further and further towards a brand of metalcore that mainland Europe seems to be producing plenty of at this point. That alone isn\u2019t the best sign going forward, but considering that this could be another case of a band drifting ever further from what works for them, \u2019Overpower\u2019<\/i> practically begs its listener to steel for the worst.<\/p>\n

At the very least, it\u2019s not that<\/i> bad, but you\u2019d be hard-pressed to call this something worth returning to in any degree. It\u2019s competent, sure, but between bland metalcore tropes, pallid lyricism and a pivot towards bombast that rarely coalesces meaningfully, Any Given Day<\/b> fall neatly in line with the infinite throng of other metalcore chancers. It\u2019s not hard to see why either, as tracks like \u2018Loveless\u2019<\/i> and \u2019Devil Inside\u2019<\/i> proceed to churn out clich\u00e9s at an alarming rate with polished but entirely forgettable compositions.<\/p>\n
