I don't think there's a song that doesn't have Ben credited, he's always been the lead songwriter to my knowledge.



He does try to progress (lyrics aside). Like DBD is a weird mix of Dear Agony and Saturate (that doesn't gel too well), while Ember is consistently aggressive and somewhat motivational rather than sad. But he just can't seem to get away from predictable structures.



EDIT: baby steps [2] indeed

These guys are always in the 2.5-3.5 range for me. And I don't see that changing.

Plus they've been pretty solid so far imo. DA-DBD-Ember are almost only what I feel like listening from this band right now

I find it funny that the best songs of their last two albums are the softest

naaah classic sowing would be:

"I actually really enjoyed this. It was samey as hell, but the songs are all individually good."

6 months later:

"guys this is a huger grower, I wrote a 4.8 review."

I understand how you can realize an album is underwhelming over time... but dropping it from a 4 to a 1.5 is a bit much

I don't know, I'm pretty sure I've done it at one point. Repeated listens reveal the beast
