Good god, this album is pretty great. This album has a lot of infectious riffs and choruses all over it. The subtle diffusion of genres on more than half of these songs is amazing. In the department of dynamics, this album knows more often than not how to use it to its advantage. There are about 4 tracks that are straight forward metalcore with often the same sounding riffs, song structures, and timbre without it being consistent across those tracks. There's also a couple of tracks where I wished for the song to keep its dark tone and feeling through the choruses, it would've added a more impactfully darker flavor on more than a surface level. Overall, this album has flaws, but it's still worth a listen. I will be on the lookout for Empty's future releases.
