I had absolutely no expectation for this record and to be honest I didn't care. Bit by bit however my interest peaked, Matt Skiba gets announced as Tom's replacement, Some of the clips they posted in the studio sounded interesting, Bored to Death' really got me excited. rThe record is awesome.rCatches the essence of Blink from all corners, whether thats the upbeat tracks to slower moments or the silly lyrics to the more mature lyrics. Its the best the band has sounded for so long. Its a band not trying to sound young but not sounding like old men. It balances everything out perfectly. Drumming is especially is outstanding as to be expected. My only bad point is it would have been nice to have more Matt than Mark though.

I feel like with this album they combined everything they wanted so perfectly, as heavy as 'Suicide Season' but with an extra layer of maturity.

Bring Me The Horizon That's the Spirit
Right now I feel really lukewarm about this record. There are some decent songs in 'Drown', 'True Friends' and 'What you Need' but other than that we're pretty much getting a radio friendly rock record. It will in fact secure them a likely festival headliner slot no doubt. Just wait for 5 years and we'll get that 'back to roots' album that most bands do.

I'm not going to bash about the fact they're not making stuff like they did for 'Killing for a
Smile' or 'Horizons' because the reasons this album doesn't work for me isn't that. Its because
this album finally makes me see what Parkway Drive really are and that's not particularly good.
Yeah Winston sounds great and these songs do attempt to try new things but they just sound so
boring. Every now and then they show glimpses of hope but thats about it. I think possibly I've
out grown Parkway Drive.

*edit: 'Writing on the Walls' is probably the worst song they've ever written

Architects All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
The first single really didn't excite me at all, it sounded like a B-Side to 'Lost forever//Lost together and the album is pretty much that. I wouldn't be surprised if these songs were conceived around the same time as that album. They use the same riff and sample on pretty much every song and the vocals really start to grate on me by the end. There are some good song, Nihilist for one but nothing sticks out for me.

The rating may change, i'll give it more listens. Right off the bat my first thought is there are absolutely no songs on this records. I wanted to like this record because I think their doing something what I thought was interesting, I just haven't found it yet.
