| 3.0 good | A257U2 | February 18th 15 |
There aren't any really goods songs like the EP had with Clocks and Taming Lions but the music
isn't bad, just very samey. Barely any songs use the clean vocals which were a low part of the EP
but when they are used they are in a lower register and sound more natural than before. The
vocalist has improved his range as well, often dipping into very low and powerful growls while
sticking to a high scream most of the time that sound almost like Dallas Taylor when he was in
Underoath. There are breakdowns. A sh*tload of them. The drums also sound exactly the same as the
EP, overproduced and incredibly artificial. There are a few tracks with some very odd choices that
either don't fit at all or are not expanded upon enough. One example is the bridge of the song
Floorboards, in which, a cowbell overpowers literally every other instrument, making it sound
ridiculous, however the shouted gang vocals later in the same song sound promising but the song
ends before they are fully utilized. This isn't a particularly catchy or technical album, just
kind of "meh" all around, definitely not as good as the EP.
Recommended songs:

I get that the clean vocals and the overly chaotic sound aren't for everyone, and the lyrical content is average at best, but the technical skill on guitar and drums, along with some pretty strong screamed vocals, make this a stand out record in the oversaturated field of "modern metalcore". Their sound may be derivative but what metalcore band's sound isn't? They take it to a level that most of the contemporaries are incapable of and craft a unique enough sound, particularly with their guitar tones and other wordly drumming, that you'd have to be a fool to confuse them for another metalcore band.

James Harrisons high screams are definitely outstanding. Great song structures and by far the best drummer in the genre. I'll just leave this here: "This guy is an robot octupus built to show us humans what it is to be a monster at drums." - a human

The clean Pop-Punk-esque vocals are annoying but the instrumentation is fantastic.

Truly deserves at most a 3.5. No higher because some of the lyrics are fucking awful. But the instrumentation makes up for it by an order of magnitude.

I think this album (or even the band as a whole) deserves more credit than its been getting. This is not your average -core. It has flaws, but not nearly as many as others. This has way more depth and intrigue that any other release I've heard in the first half of 2015.
