Personally, I preferred their first record by miles. But that's not to say Mind Games was bad. Outcasts had its fair share of decent riffs, heaviness, several solid guest appearances, and a tolerable mix of EDM and post-hardcore that is rarely done effectively. I really enjoyed Outcasts.rMind Games feels like they dropped a LOT of that post-hardcore/metalcore influence for a more Breathe Carolina-style record. Its poppy-er, dancy-er, and less heavy but still maintains an effective amount of catchy. Another negative is the VERY repetitive song structures which gets boring and makes tracks run together, and the lack of any creative riffs (when they actually do use the two guitarists in the band). That being said, its not a bad album though I do seem to be pretty negative about it. 2.5/5
