Pretty disappointing, album feels half-hearted next to Prisoners, as if the band wrote the riffs, drum patterns and lyrics and thought "well it's not our best work, but it'll do" and repeated the process 13 times.

Eye of Providence is the first of The Agonist's releases so far to include Vicky Psarakis as this melodic death metal/metalcore band's frontwoman. Many people for the time being don't really appreciate such a change, seeing as how this recording's predecessor Prisoners (and the past two albums) was written with then-vocalist Alissa White-Gluz - who is now in Arch Enemy; it was bound to happen. I found almost nothing wrong with Prisoners, as it was virtually flawless from a songwriting perspective and Alissa's vocal performance on that was gorgeously sadistic. Do I think Eye of Providence is a step or two down from the group's previous efforts? Yes and no. On one hand, the compositions here aren't nearly as robust as what I've experienced on both Lullabies for the Dormant Mind and the constantly mentioned third full-length. Fortunately on the brightside, the record's got more replay value than The Agonist's debut, and Vicky herself has proven to be quite the suitable replacement. I feel as if the overall quality is middle ground.

Vicky's clean vocals, especially with more moody music parts, sound superb! Her screaming is very energetic though also monotonous at times. Musically, I like the variation in rhythm and style within and between songs. The more hardrock-ish (parts of) songs are the lesser ones in my opinion. I prefer death/progressive metal(core).
