Not sure if the last paragrah:
"The album is different in style, from their previous albums. Abandoning their gothic sound, Karmacode combines almost Nu-Metal riffs, with hard rock and female vocals. Many of the songs have a Middle-Eastern element to them."
Is NPOV. Last sentence is reasonable, the numetal riggs comment and hard rock comment appear slightly unwarranted.
The "almost nu-metal guitar riffs" are a fact, not opinion. The tone of the riffs are described as "numetal" based off of the amount to which they borrow from Korn. All non-biased musical reference sites have confirmed this.
- I wrote that last paragraph, and I've read in several places that the sound borrows KoRn-like riffs. Lots of reviewers from Amazon for example state this. In Flames 10:44, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- I believe the original comment's mention of a "Middle-Eastern" or "pseudo-Middle-Eastern" element is, in fact, LC's use of harmonic minor scales; harmonic minor scales have often been used to give a pseudo-middle-eastern feel to western music (just as scaling fifths are used to give a pseudo-Chinese feel in Western music). If LC was deliberately using harmonic minor to get a Middle-Eastern feel, we should have a citation to an interview with a band member before saying as much.

[edit] Genre
Removed "progressive metal" as Allmusic.com has no editorial supervision and simply do not know what they are talking about. For example, it says that Lacuna Coil is "symphonic black metal"? In addition, the album Karmacode carries no marks of the Progressive metal genre Seriphyn (talk) 16:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
