2.0 poorlecolumbus | July 8th 17

The songwriting's hasn't really changed much since Above/Below. maybe I'd bump this if I hadn't heard Coma Witch.rIt's strange expecting The Acacia Strain to do something different but I didn't expect them to do something that was exactly the same.rAt least the production is better this time around.rWhat's with Vincent's lyric patterns too? I think he's done this for awhile but it seems he rhymes every single word like AA/BB without fail.

0.0 Chuggy | July 5th 17

Coma Witch Pt.2 (Feat. Better production)
The biggest problem here is the songwriting. The band seems stuck in this mid-tempo rut that lends all the songs a very
samey feel. 1-0 chord chugging and edgy lyrics will always be a staple here.
Too often they write intros that sound like something might go somewhere but then devolve into the usual mid-tempo
chugs.
All is not lost with songs like Calloused Mouth and Dark Harvest showing some interesting twists and even some double
kick runs on the drums. These songs stick out in a good way as it seems like TAS are trying to bring something resembling
technicality into the album.
The closer Cold Gloom pretty much sums up their current sound. Gloomy and slow.

As they have gone on into their career much of the double-step and speed of the scene has just been stripped out to make
way for twangy junz and breakdowns. The problem is they are the same breakdowns we have heard for several albums now.
