Didn't like this one as much as Muse

Ugh I liked them when they came out with Envision, and their song with Chon is pretty sweet but other than that everything else sounds exactly the same.

I should like this but it's filled the the brim with so much wankery it makes me sick.

Shit, didn't even know a new one was coming. Probably right about the homogeneous wankery, but I like it as background noise for video games or browsing. Wouldn't sit and concentrate too hard on it though. Super talented guys, but creatively they need to expand a little.

Probably passing on this. Sounds boring. They should've kept some of their heaviness to mix it up

I've actually been enjoying this a good deal, it definitely functions well as background music, but I think it can stand on its own too

Yeah, these guys are extremely talented, but there's no reason to play every lick ever written in every single song. I love guitar wankery, but there's only so much Polyphia I can take in a sitting.

You guys are nuts. Yea this album is technical but I'd hardly use the word "wankery" to describe it. These comments make it sound like it's a Rusty Cooley solo album, which it's not. Shit is tasteful af

HONESTLY, it's a bit more tasteful than a lot of their other stuff. Very pretty. But I generally stray from both these guys and Chon's VERY clean, idiosyncratic playing. I prefer something a little gnarlier in terms of instrumental stuff.

I thought this was the band that used to call themselves oceana at first.

Yeah, I second that you guys are nuts. This is really tasteful and melodic, the guitar really sings. It's one of the things that draws me to this album, I HATE wankery.

Listened to a few tracks and it's definitely less self-indulgent than their earlier work, and a lot less "metal" too. Very tasteful. Probably not enough to hold my attention for too long though. But nice stuff. Lots of character to the leads.

i really don't think it's that wanky at all, especially compared to a lot of shit people really dig here

Like it a lot, more dynamic than their older stuff IMO. Definitely still a bit wanky, but there's a few new things (for them) on the album. I find most of the tracks are easily identifiable.

Really like this, love how they got rid of most of the djent

Really impressed with this album, Muse didnt hold my attention but this album is very chill and can listen to it the whole way through
