finally getting around to this. definitely enjoying it but expected a bit more. very much feels like dream weapon with some additional metallic elements and screaming instead of a blend of their old/new. feels less cohesive as a result, i actually prefer dream weapon by a little for that reason. and the shorter songs are very perfunctory.
still an interesting album though, need a few more listens here. opener caught me off guard with the electro beat, really dig that one. tomorrow mirage, born prey and a love so pure are also very good. nice review calc, agree with most of your points here!
