Genius! Feb 07, 2009
This is a GREAT CD! I bought it after hearing the song "I Don't Care" on the radio once and I instantly loved the song. I looked up the group, Apocalyptica, and watched the music video to "I Don't Care", then fell in love with the band! I actually ended up buying the CD and started recommending it for my friends. Now all my friends are into it! I cannot stop listening to this CD and I ended up buying another of their CDs. Worth every penny! :)

Music Even a Mother will Love Feb 03, 2009
I bought this for my 15 yr old son for Christmas
after he "subjected" me to the song 'I Don't Care'.
I fell in LOVE with this music. This band. All the
different instruments. It's an incredible amalgam of sounds.
I highly recommend it.

 A solid album, but still not great Jan 29, 2009
Apocalyptica took a big chance with "Reflections" in 2003, and it almost ended the band. People were starting to become disenchanted with the fact that they added percussions and extra guitars. I didn't mind this however, though on some songs it felt slightly out of place. 2005, they took the same route but had more classical influenced songs on it, thus having a bit of both the hard rock sound and the Cello/Classical metal sound.
Now we're at Worlds Collide. See, I love Apocalyptica. They're one of my favorite bands. But the truth is, this album bores me. It's not a bad album by any means, but it certainly isn't great. It has its moments of energy and thunder, bit the whole album screams "going though the motions" in the worst possible sense. You can hear in their playing that they're going though the motions.
Worlds Collide is great start to the album. Very heavy and riffy, and one of their best openers.
Grace is the best song on the album hands down. With a guest appearance by Tomoyasu Hotei (the guy who did "Battle Without Honor or Humanity") and the heavy yet beautiful cello work, this is one of the better songs in the Apocalyptica catalogue.
I'm Not Jesus was OK. I liked the verse but the chorus is boring. And the lyrics are stupid.
Ion has a interesting start to the song, but other than that it just feels out of place.
Helden is a good song musically, but awful vocally.
Stroke is one of the best songs on here, and definitely has a great epic feel to it.
Last Hope is a very bland and boring song, despite the great appearance from Lombardo.
I Don't Care has potential to be a good ballad, I mean they were going in the right direction with the songwriting, but then Adam Gontier from Three Days Grace (One of the worst bands ever) ruins the song with his awful voice.
Burn is an OK song, very heavy- which is one of the best things about it, but gets very repetitive.
S.O.S. is one of the best songs on here- Scabbia has a beautiful voice, and the song is a really grand effort from these guys.
Peace is a bland song, horrible way to go out.
In short, this is an OK album. It's not that I don't like it, it's just that with the guest vocalists and the fact that this is their 3rd album with the extra instruments makes me fear that Apocalyptica has become just another Symphonic Metal band. Shame really, since the fact that some of the heaviest things ever were done on just cellos is what made them unique to me (they even boast about it in the booklet for "Inquisition Symphony". Maybe it's time for them to hang it up? I dunno. But hopefully they can find their ground again before the time comes that they have to hang it up.
