Am I crazy? This feels like a huge stepup from their last few albums. I feel like so many of their songs the riffs just feel meh, but here they really seem to hit! It's still the ABR we've always known but it just feels like top of their game ABR.

I agree, but I think Death Below started the refocusing of their sound. They got their teeth back with that one and are in top form here

They're fantastic live too - remember seeing them at Hellfest one year and it was the first band I saw of the festival. Tight and good stage presence.

This is a massive leap for these guys. This is right up there with R&R, Constellations, Far Away Places imo. I didn't have big expectations when I saw this was released and it absolutely blew me the fuck away. Incredible performances all around, tight song writing, a ton of fun ideas happening here, well executed to boot.
