The Scars Between Us is the fourth full-length album by American groove metal band Skinlab. It was released September 15, 2009, seven years after the band's previous studio album. [1]
Reviews of the album ranged from negative to mixed.
AllMusic gave a mixed review, classifying the songs as technically competent but unoriginal nu metal tracks with far too long a run-time. There were also accusations that riffs had gone far past being influenced and outright impersonated various major bands such as Metallica and Machine Head. [1]
MetalSucks gave a negative review, again criticising the lack of originality and flagrant impersonations. The review also criticised the loss of groove seen in the band's early work, leading to a general dullness in a number of songs. [2]
Exclaim! also gave a mixed reception of the review, judging it "moderately interesting" but once again criticised the lack of originality. [3]
