Jaded is already the third album of the finnish band To/Die/For. Not any change of style, the band always distill the same lively and dancing metal type which us get used on All Eternity and Epilogue.

In three years, the stage has evolved and if it was difficult to classify To/Die/For in a metal type, no more doubt is possible: Him, To/Die/For and company made Pop Metal (more often called Love Metal), whether somebody like it or not. The 3/4 of songs are dancing...

The word was damned in the metal univers but it must known evolve, today, it's not again the case, Jaded has the freshness of All Eternity and the maturity of Epilogue: we can find the song "The Unknown II", the second part of the song wich was on Epilogue.What do you want more? You like nice and dynamic pop-melody, Jaded is an album made for you.

As habit, To/Die/For made at his own means, a cover of a 80's hit (Note of reviewer: we remember of the Sandra's "In The Heat Of The Night" and the Pet Shop Boys' "It's A Sin"), The "Died In Your Arms" from Cutting Crew, totaly renewed and irresistible.
