Album Rating: 2.5
Blatantly reposting what I wrote in another thread about why the newer Sylosis material kinda sucks:
1) The riffs just kind of feel phoned in for some reason.
2) The guitars in general seem to have taken a back seat to the vocals, at least relative to their earlier albums
3) The songs feel slower and almost butt rock-ish at times. The drumming in particular just does very little for me
4) Those atmospheric leads that were sort of their signature sound in the earlier albums feel a lot less prevalent
5) I'm not 100% sure on this one but I think the new tuning they use doesn't help either. I think E standard actually did work better for them
