This is good, pretty much in line with their last few albums, which is fine. Any fans who slept on their acoustic release last year needs to hear it.

Observer, I liked the acoustic EP too and am always surprised at its low rating here

Sonically this definitely is reminiscent of the Exile / AAP days, not quite as good in terms of memorable songs, but still pretty awesome.

Ive always been partial to Agents. So many killer tracks on that one. And Chan, likewise. That art cover is a turn off but the acoustic sound is really great in their hands.

album sounds very good, but you can tell age is taking a toll on the vocalist and he has lost some of the edge and intensity he had, even compared to the last album. the instrumentals on here are awesome though, not many big bands are into this sound anymore so it's good to hear

listened to a couple tracks off this and they were great (especially ulysses, which was straight up off of twisted/exile songwriting wise) although yeah the vocals are definitely a bit tame

Ulysses really should have been the closer to this album. The order and sequencing of these songs is really the only problem with this album. That closer just doesn’t do it

Interesting it's down to 3.7 average putting it only above Another Day in Paradise. I'm not suggesting it should be higher as TBD, STWB and EIO are definitely well above in the 4+ range but I'm enjoying it slightly more than Transmission Alpha Delta. Definitely after more listens agreeing the closing song while not bad is the most underwhelming closer off any Strung Out album.
