I actually dug that quite a bit, the production is weak as shit though

Album Rating: 3.0

I don't get the shitting on this album. It's far from their best but I like it. I'm kind of a junkie for this band and others like them though so I'll eat all of it up.

Album Rating: 2.5

new song is better than The Truth, but so are most things.

Album Rating: 1.5

Wow, it actually have riffs. Still pretty bad tho, it's so ridiculously formulaic

Album Rating: 2.0

anyone expecting Howard benson to produce an album that is anything but ridiculously formulaic is kidding themselves

Well Anders' vocals are absolutely uninspired, the songwriting in general takes a complete nosedive with the guitars opting for formulaic riffs, and there are rarely any engaging moments.



But if you like it das koo.

New one grew on me. The guitars should be higher in the mix though

Not a fan of the chorus but the rest is cool imo

Album Rating: 2.0

The new songs sound so over-produced

Album Rating: 3.0

They're produced by a guy who works with alt rock bands for the most part and the stuff he's done in the last few years shares similar issues.

Album Rating: 1.5

Bad and predictable af (as expected)

Benson prefers to record in what he calls a "parallel system," in which musicians will record their parts in isolated rooms. Benson stated that he utilizes Auto-Tune in the studio and that those who don't are "nuts".



Says it all.

Album Rating: 2.5

new album honestly worse than this

Album Rating: 2.5

i like it more :]

Album Rating: 2.0

There's no way the new album is worse than this. the 4 singles alone make Battles better than this regardless of the rest of the tracks.

Album Rating: 2.5

there is just nothing really redeemable about it aside from the first track and a couple of decently written melodies



at least this album had something

Album Rating: 2.5

There are 4-5 songs that are better than anything off this imo

Album Rating: 2.5

I only found myself somewhat liking two or three songs while the rest I just found to be worse than most of this tbh.



The overblown choruses and Benson's production are what ultimately kill it for me.
