A bigger, bolder, and more straightforward album that sees BATS mature into a refined band, all whilst retaining the fun nature of their debut.

I just goddamned love BATS lyrical content. Helps that the album rules as well.

I used to wonder what Voivod’s Angel Rat album would have sounded like if they had still went in an alternative rock direction, but had also kept the quirky progressive tendencies of Nothingface. Having heard The Sleep of Reason, I think I have a general idea of what ‘might have been’ had Voivod not played it safe. The Sleep of Reason is built on a foundation of alternative rock and/or Post Hardcore, but that foundation has been demolished by angular rhythms, atonal guitar riffs, and off-kilter vocals (with the strange lyrics to go right along with it all). This is an album that might take a few listens to really click, but it’s definitely worth the effort. Their next album should be checked out, too. Really, all of them should.

BATS attempt to get serious, and in the process, they lose what made them great in the first place.

rhythmically the music is phenomenal, but I can't help but feel that I'd like this music more if they weren't so arrogantly anti-religious. If the lyrical themes leaned more in the "Science is Amazing!" direction instead of "Science is cool, BUT THESE A**HOLES ARE RUINING EVERYTHING!! RAAAAAGHHHH!!!" I would easily 4.5 this... 3.1/5
