2.5 averagejake1234 | November 10th 19

As much as this pains me to say I agree with Michichachi and MeatWolf. The mix got worse (who
else thinks the mix on Conqueror was FANTASTIC??). The
symphonic parts are too high in the mix and the real meat of the album (growling vocals which
sound far too
distant and echoey but mels vocals are great as usual and daves cleans, guitars and drums) are not
up front enough. It's a real shame as the mix on
the last 3 albums was much better, not perfect, but still had plenty of beef to it.rThe singles
are good, but still pale in comparison to Progenitor, Acheron and even Embers (which imo had some
amazing tracks and a couple meh ones). The rest of the album felt rushed and not well thought out.
I was really expecting a stronger release with taking some extra time with it compared to the last
few albums. Not to mention the opening 6 minutes track of not much substance and mostly just
noise. No epic
instrumental opening track like on Acheron or short intro into a banger like the first two tracks
of Progenitor. I also just never got the goosebumbs and strong feels I usually get with Mechina. I
also
have to say Compendium was the worst thing they have ever done. I don't understand how anyone can
find it better or as good as the originals. It sounded like this artificial layer of more
symphonic elements that just didn't fit and ruined it. I bought it anyways to support them, but
never listen to it. Alas, every band has it's weaker albums, and this is by no means horrible
material, but just not up to their usual caliber.

Can't believe I'm saying it but this album is a waste, worthy are only the singles, the rest is
forgettable garbage. Such a damn shame. Things def went wrong after that Compendium wreck.
Don't get it wrong, it's listenable and maybe even good by the overall standard but Mechina can do
so much better.
