Here I am trying to wrap my head around the empty feeling that this album gives off. I can deal with the fact that it's generic; I can let the overproduced sound of the instrumentation slide; I'm able to just barely tolerate the whole "durr, let's combine nu-metal with metalcore 'cause that's brand new and mindblowing" trend. But if you expect me to believe that there was any effort or soul put into War At Heart, then YOU. ARE ON. METH!! The final two songs off the record, semi-brookable as they are, simply can't make up for the rest of the tracks that comprise this pile of crapola. All and all, The Order of Elijah's 2016 full-length album is lacking in every sense of the word. The vocals are boring, the musicianship is bland and unconvincing, and the record doesn't have any semblance of a personality.
