My brain started to shut off towards the end. I like the first couple of tracks but this thing is generally too slow for me. Damn.

nah I only snort

I'm just not a big fan of the pacing and Howard's voice, heard him years ago in that Within Temptation song and even then I didn't like him.

Damn man, Howard rules hard. Way harder than Jesse imo. I've said it before, but Jesse's vox have never done it for me.

Yeah Howard Jones was the only vocalist I bothered to learn the name of when I first started listening to metal in middle school.

Howard's good, I just don't like his type of a voice. Never properly listened to Jesse tho, I only remember him from ABR's Ancestry and, well, I wasn't hooked either.

Jesse has a rather unique edge to his screams (it's sort of grating but in a good way?) but he couldn't compete with Howard's cleans. End of Heartache isn't as good as it is without Howard's dynamism.

Howard is a superior vocalist in terms of technique but Jesse probably has an edge emotionally.

Howard clears Jesse imo too between his Killswitch stuff and his work with Blood Has Been Shed. Dude's range is wild

Opener is a certified banger. Also, a song titled Declaration rips hard, maybe that's a trend in the genre.

If you ever saw Howard live in this era, you know he was bringing it 100% every show/record. Now jam Blood Has Been Shed everyone
