This album is awesome and I have been listening to it on repeat for weeks. However, this album is not worthy of a 5 rating for two reasons.



Firstly, the album lacks dynamics and more importantly, climaxes. The music is mostly at the same tempo and rarely builds to anything. The choruses just happen and don't really deviate from the rest of the song.



This also ties in with the second point, which is that the vocals lack dynamics and emotional intensity. The vocalist sings in the same register throughout. That 'Cause I'm evil' part in Conversation 16 is really the only bit of vocal diversity on the album.



Yet this does not mean that it is not enjoyable. It is still a great album.

I kind of agree (only your first point though). Album is extremely solid but lacks originality and any forward-thinking at all.
