I did love the closing acoustic track on the last album, but nothing else was memorable in the slightest.
This actually has the band using their strengths, and the vocals are bearable again.

I couldn't stand Garrett's random and drastic vocal change on that album, the hardcore yells were unbearable. At least his singing has never faltered

I don't think Garret even understands what he writes about on half of these songs honestly. The songs Walls, Outer Demon's and Learned Behavior are pretty much 3 completely different opinions on the same topic. They even use the same lyrics. I think it's genuinely strange that he flips opinions so often like this while consistently using the same lyrical themes album after album. Here are examples in a few lines from those 3 tracks:
"Sometimes it's good to build up walls not to keep anyone out, but to see who cares enough to knock them down."
"Boundaries don't keep anybody out they only fence us in."
"I build these walls to keep the outside world from me and I'll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind. It's safer on the inside."

Upon repeated listens this is growing heavily on me.

If you knew anything about Garrett you'd know that he suffers from clinical depression and his lyrics are purely based on his experiences. In most of the more "inspirational" songs it's just him writing about the person he wishes he was, basically writing "hope-core" for himself.

I understand he has depression, but I also notice that there's been a constant dip in his songwriting skills in the last few years. To a point where it just seems like he's reusing the same words over and over in different ways. I get that depression is difficult to deal with, I've had it. But it's also not an excuse to not express you artistry at it's full potential. If his depression is negatively affecting his art, his livelihood and the things he loves to the point where he's been stuck in this same messaged rut for years and he's not able to fully be himself, then he should seek help with it.

Wow, I don't think an album has had me shift between boredom and anger more than this one. Definitely my waoty for the foreseeable future. just a horrible album all the way through.

These guys must be contractually obligated to crank out albums, because they have lost every aspect I loved about their first 3 releases.
Also, I like We All Have Demons the best

It sucks that I haven't really liked these guys' last two albums, because I really like Garret as a person and the overall purpose he makes of this band. I like the messages he conveys and I think his heart is in the right place when he makes his art. It's just hard for me to connect to it when a lot of the recent content has been painfully generic or contradictory. I want to see these guys do better.

Against my better judgement I'll have a listen of this. If he's stopped them horrible shouts then it might be passable.

The shouts are over thankfully, those were unbearable

A bit of an improvement but it does seem painfully watered down. The album closer is the only track that really stood out.
