Nice review! There's some great tracks on this album but overall, it's a bit of letdown for me. Very unoriginal production; bloated and a bit pompous. The singing is great as usual, but the guitar playing is just very mediocre as is the drumming. Not bad, but not especially great either... There's not a single break or transition that you haven't heard before. It's a bit safe in that aspect and makes the album come across as loud guitar pop.
Lastly, the best track on this album is such a clear Rage Against The Machine ripoff, I feel they should have gotten a writers credit...

Nope, I haven't heard anything from the years 2000 to 2020 that comes close to this or Broken Machine.
Maybe ISIS, maybe.

Phobia is amazing (another SOTY candidate), and so much of this occupies an interesting space between Anberlin and Muse for me. The guys have talent.

it would be so easy for them to make just genereic anthemic rock music. But somehow they manage to write interesting songs that blur the lines between rock, hip hop (like, broken machine had a hip hop beat thing going on. stuff like that) and some electronics. I don't know much about this niche. Maybe they are a pretty generic indie rock band. But the songs just rule

THIIIIIIIS
Sometimes there are bands that just "get it". Like, they get the appeal of music. Sometimes you can understand it through a technical lens, like most bands do. Every once in awhile there comes a band that just gets it for no other reason than that they were clearly destined to make music.

Can You Afford to Be an Individual came on today and I was forced to play the entire album start to finish again. It's so good for what it is. Most radio rock bands of this nature fizzle out immediately (see Royal Blood) but these guys are still going strong 3 albums in.

I'd take every single Anberlin album over these guys. Chevelle wouldn't even be a competition.
