Well, it wasn't as bad as the previous times I listened to it. It's a shame, the lyrics on this are SO good, but he doesn't even come close to pronouncing anything in english.

I heard their next album will have lyrics such as "wanna go for a walk!?!?!?" and "god damnit, did you piss on the floor again!??!"
But it'll be all like RAWATRWARWRAWRAWR to humans.

It's not that he's just screaming. He's not exactly following the lyrics as they are written in the booklet. There's lyrics, but he isn't saying them. Take Concubine for example. The whole time he is just screaming "I'll stay gold!" Though his screams are incomprehensible, there is meaning in there. RARWARWARRWRA jokes are still funny though ;D

"There's lyrics, but he isn't saying them."
Exactly. For the lyrics to work within the context of the song (at least for me) they have to be well placed... or at least discernable. To have lyrics this good and not even really use them is unfortunate. It really does take away from the album.

Settling on this rating for now. If I had a choice, it would be a 2.78 though.

I've got the lyrics booklet and I can barely understand a word as I follow along.
Highlights for me are The Broken Vow, the tail end of Thaw (which sounds like the end of the world), and the title track.
solidness isn't wrong when he says it's like coke - if I'm planning to sleep anytime in the new few hours I can't listen to this.

^^^ That's funny, as I was so dead tired last night (but in the mood for some Jane Doe), that I fell asleep to this album ... It must have been during Hell To Pay, the only mellow track here.
I agree that it's a BIT disappointing that the lyrics here are more indiscernible than any other Converge release, because they are really good. Any other Converge release and you can follow along if you know the lyrics - this, not so much. But that's all part of the experience, maaaaaannnnn.

I think it works much better if you consider the songs as instrumentals and the vocals just being another instrument, and the lyrics being more like poems to go with each song to understand what it tries to convey

Yeah, they don't follow the booklet. This also turned me off in the beginning, but like Lelle said, I learned to look at the vocals as another kind of instrument. Sure he isn't "saying" the lyrics, but those screams man. They're so passionate (believe it or not :p) You can just feel that pain man. Good shit.

well, then the instrument varies in its sound as much as a cowbell does.
the weird thing is - I downloaded Converge again and, frankly, I'm surprised that I consider this listenable. still don't like Jane Doe though (hah. "Jane Dodo"), except Fault and Fracture and the beginning of Concubine.

Oh yes, "Concubine". I'm gonna ask if I can play that song with my school band for Battle of the Bands in September.

That would be awesome. There's a bunch of older kids who think they kick so much ass 'cause they play Waking the Cadaver and Parkway Drive so it might be fun to show 'em up with some REAL metalcore.

play fault and fracture

In vein of the music video, my band will probably do "Fault and Fracture" as if it were a part of "Concubine".
