Trivium: Ranking All 9 Albums From Worst To Best

6. Silence In The Snow

Okay, now we're going to have to start splitting hairs as to how the rest of this ranking goes.

Silence in the Snow represented yet another turning point for Trivium, the first album where Matt had truly found a way to harness the power of his clean vocals like never before. You can tell he's thoroughly enjoying the art of singing, with not a single screamed passage on the album.

Provided you can "live" with no screams (which I very much can), you've got some of the band's most well-written songs, and not a dud among them. In terms of sheer versatility and approachability, Silence in the Snow is one of the most consistent metal albums of the decade, with perhaps no career-best standout, yet a constant high bar of quality throughout - not a bad metric for any artist's body of work.

Until the World Goes Cold became an unexpected viral success online (it remains the band's most viewed video at time of writing), Rise Above the Tides' is perhaps the best solo Heafy and Beaulieu have ever put out if we're combining everything they can do into a short passage of time, and Heafy's vocals... man, you have to hand it to someone putting so much work into perfecting their natural skillset.
