Almost every two years, Devildriver comes up with a new album, and Trust No One is the seventh album in this list. Sometimes labeled as melodic death metal, Devildriver bring a mix of groove metal, thrash metal and death metal – but really, it is mostly groove metal or modern American metal.

Having set the definitions and labels straight, let's talk about the album. Trust No One is a difficult album to classify: it doesn't have anything awfully bad or wrong about it, nor does it have moments of complete brilliance. It is just sitting somewhere comfortably in the range of solid but mediocre work – and it just doesn't manage to touch me at a deeper level.

Technically very sound work, good grooves and great guitar solos can all be found on Trust No One, but there is not a single track that really stands out.

To conclude: Devildriver are missing a bit of a spark on this album. While technically solid, and having all the right ingredients, the final result just tastes a bit bland.
