Music
Described as groove metal[13][14][5] and nu metal,[3][7][15][13] Rivals has been compared to all of the previous Coal Chamber albums, being described as most similar to the band's third album Dark Days.[13] In a 2015 review of the album, 100% Rock magazine wrote that "Coal Chamber have taken the nu metal styling of the early 2000s and modernized the sound for the current day".[13] The album Rivals shows Coal Chamber moving away from their gothic sound.[15]
