Every song from What Went Down that I've heard so far has me excited, though Mountain at My Gates is definitely the best. But Knife in the Ocean grooves hard

Nice song. However, I don't like the fact that the band tend to make songs that rest on basic/popular/cheesy chord progressions.

"It is so much better than Holy Fire."



I figured since the singles were already in themselves a million times better

Eh I think it's unfair for a band to have astronomical expectations for each album and expected to release something deep and meaningful. Holy Fire was a fun rock record with some great riffs, they have plenty of time in their career to release another Total Life Forever.

Half of the songs on Holy Fire were not supposed to be 'fun'.



TBH I think the softer songs on the new album are still less subte or inventive than on Total Life Forever, which doesn't mean they are bad.

Only three or four songs on here are poppy and fun.



What Went Down is pretty similar to this, it's just moodier and more intense.
