1.0 awfulMitch Worden EMERITUS | December 10th 18

I guess I have to be on the opposite side of the fence here. The only good parts feel like soulless copies of countless other metalcore bands. Everything else is trampled by nu-metal influence and completely terrible rap segments. Don't see much value here at all.

2.0 poorDaedus | December 6th 18

Never have I heard an album that better earns the descriptor of "mixed-bag". From the bog-standard
nu-metalcore of 'Apollo', surprisingly good tracks like 'AEON', to utter trash like 'Just
Confusing', Helix bounces from song to song like a grade-schooler off his Adderall. The result is
a directionless, baffling slurry that fails to integrate its ingredients in any meaningful way. No
amount of energy or intensity can overcome a complete lack of form. Soilwork's kid brother needs
his meds.

OK, this is probably their most consistent work yet; everything flows well together and nothing feels disjointed. This is a banger and a half.

4.0 excellentShadowNeko | November 29th 18

This album is their greatest work yet. It's rpowerful, creative, and it takes risks while rstaying successfully solid.

When CL are at their best (Devilcry, Agony, Lost in Forever, Apollo), they make the best metalcore music, period (IMO). The brilliance of those songs makes up for the weaker songs, which are quite poor.

More of a nu-metal album with a metalcore atheistic and it works, "just confusing" is like the title says, quite a grower and i really do dig that song now.
