Best thing they have done since Prisoners. Still a couple of dead tracks in the mix, but overall, a step up from the past couple of records.

A couple of tracks are DOA, but there are also a few tracks I can't seem to take of repeat. Magnetic Field is galactic spaciness at its catchy best with an asteroid belt of melancholy expanding within. Almost had me is vintage Lights through and through. This chick has a gift for melody.
Arch Enemy Will to Power3.0
Steven Wilson To the Bone4.5
Unleash The Archers Apex4.0
I shouldn't like this, but I keep putting it on. Familiar with its maiden throwback energy and twin guitars, but with an absolute gem of lead vocalist that I just can't get enough of. I can't help but smile while listening. Some days, I need that.

Queensryche Condition Human3.5
Hitting this with a 4.5 for now, simply because it is such a vast improvement over almost everything they have done since Promised Land. I did like the 2013 release, but it was short, and the band sort of played it safe there, so that got rated a tick lower, even though it was also a big improvement.

Shores of Null Quiescence3.5
An odd blend of oh...Amorphis, Alice in Chains, and Woods of Ypres. Works for the most part, but I am curious to see what they can put out with a bit more writing experience under their collective belt, as there are some dips in quality here and there. Kings of Null slays, though.

Pretty much a perfect record. I can't find flaw. The only chink in the armor is that the production could be a tad better. Alas, the writing and atmosphere make up for it in spades.
