Another excellent album, but I could care less for the lyrics. They did not impress me at all. The rhyme schemes got boring very fast, but luckily the virtuoso talent of the rest of the band covers that up. I'm not trying to downplay their sheer ability, but their strength definitely is not in their lyricism. I wrote stuff like that in early high school, to be entirely honest. Albeit, I am among the upper ranks of the upper eschelon of my college's writers, but still... It saddened me to see that their lyrics were comparable to what I wrote when I was 15.
Ahem... In any case, it's still another superb album, as expected. The little joke part in Endless Sacrifice (I think) was great, too. 4.5/5 (because I'm an English major, but the instrumental adroitness overwhelms lyrical shortcomings).
