taking bets on how many times they'll say "coward"

Less accessible, yet more consistent than Letters Home, which unfortunately means the tracks tend to
bleed together a little bit. The album's second half is far better than the first few tracks, though there's
nothing downright unlistenable on here. 'Atonement' slays and the guest vocals on 'Borrowed & Blue'
(whomever they belong to) really add a nice flavour to the track. I can see this growing on me with a few more
listens.

This album is so boring. I had to listen to it a couple of times because I couldn't believe it. But I find myself skipping to the next track in the middle of the song, and people were complaining about Letters Home?

Mid 5 out of 10: Wow, talk about a huge disappointment. Defeater is more or less the same band, except now it feels like they're drowned out of the sound they already perfected, if that makes any sense at all. Man, this is a huge bummer. Such a fall from grace.

This band could have been a modern classic in the hardcore genre if they stopped after Empty Days & Sleepless nights. It's amazing how they have stagnated. The lyrics and music are the same as they have ever been, minus the chaotic feel from Travels and the emotion from Lost Ground and Empty Days. If they can't find it in them to start fresh with a new narrative, it's time to just call it quits.

Shocked to see the response of this, though maybe I shouldn't be. Was seriously disappointed by the singles, and overall was opposed to the continuation of the concept. But after listening to the album, the singles fit perfectly into place although they are still among the worst tracks on the album. To me, this is an emotional masterpiece. Love the religious concept. Awesomely relatable on a fundamental human level, documenting internal struggle at its most basic and extreme. Swept me up from start to finish. I have one complaint, which I've seen echoed here already many times which is that the lyrics get repeated 10 too many times on just about every song. If it weren't for this, this'd be an easy 5 for me. As it is, I'll be blasting many of these for years to come, with Divination and Vice and Regret being my favorites, but Borrowed and Blue, Atonement, and Remorse not far behind. As far as the story itself, slightly disheartening the way it ends just from the perspective of relating to the singer. Seems like he's one step away from finding the solace he wants but as evidence by the fact that "Glory Be" is the most positive the ending manages, not quite there yet. Seems like a song titled "Self-Reflection" is all that's missing in that regard. Amen to this album though.
