This album SLAPS, huge sound and somehow stays super dynamic and fresh throughout. Honestly kind of hate the Mr Crowley cover though, feels forced.

A lot more varied and interesting than their full length, brings back some of the ambiance that got me into them in the first place. Plus the concept factor hits for me. I'm vibin on it.

This album is really something, I always wonder if things like this will be 'worth the wait' with
so many years to build expectations to unfair levels. But this album is just as captivating and
mind-bending to me as it was hearing their first release so many years ago. Game
changer! And how about those nature samples?

Very odd to me these didn't make the album.rWondering if it was a music driven decision, or a business one of some sort.rThink these two tracks actually stand above many on the album.

"Hollow" is quite literally a re-worked / re-recorded B-Side from "ONE".
So if its giving you them vibes, it makes sense. I think I first heard the demo back in like
2012? Still a banger, and the new version is a big step up!

Also, "Rebirth" is also quite good. A really nice one-two punch.

Some phenomenal tracks, and liking some of the experimentation on vocals as well. Overall though? Hmm, doesn't quite have the same amount of special sauce as their last LP

I *understand* why this album got a lot of hate, but IMO its actually totally slept on. Super catchy hooks, great vocal melodies, and some killer guitar work that is maybe a little more backstage, but just as present and powerful.
Within Destruction YŌKAI

3.0 good
$uicideboy$ Thy Kingdom Come
Solid, but just doesn't seem to have that *special sauce*, not sure why but it's not clicking. Which, is a first for a me and one of their full length LP's, but I similarly didn't jive with many of their EP's so who knows. (Shrug)

Some really vibey stuff in here that I dig. rBut cant get over the production, or lack there of.rI know they did this as a crowdfunded tight budget thing, but it really sounds like a demo disc.

2.5 average
Anthony Green Doom. Spun.
This one is a miss for me, not terrible just a bit boring. Don't find myself coming back to it.
Attack Attack! Long Time, No Sea
Its a real shame that these guys made all the effort to reunite only to put out this relatively
forgettable EP. I think AA!'s significance in the scene was for always pushing boundaries,
pushing peoples buttons, and making fun lighthearted music.

This may dip its toe in the third category, with a select few fun moments. However its ultimately
forgettable, and uninspired. I would have much rather had worse music that at least 'tried' to
stand on its own two feet.
Born of Osiris Tomorrow We Die Alive
Can't Swim Change of Plans
Dance Gavin Dance Jackpot Juicer
Kaonashi Dear Lemon House, You Ruined Me: Senior Year
Its like someone wrote a super rad album, even sharp lyrics, and then over-dubbed it with meme
vocals. It really sounds like an "always sunny in Philadelphia" skit where they try and start a
metal band or something. Fun for one listen, but probably couldn't bring myself to do it again. Or
who knows, maybe I will and it will grow on me.
Slipknot The End, So Far
Thrice Palms
Trivium The Crusade

2.0 poor
Atreyu The Curse 2025
Look, does every song on here sound bad? No. It even has some moments that "Do right by" the
original while bringing a bigger more dynamic sound. But ultimately for every such moment
there are three times more where Brandon's screams just sound weird and out of place, and the
production is WAY too clean for my taste. Sounds sanitized and robotic. This new version of
Bleeding Mascara is a great example, and is borderline unlistenable.
Attack Attack! This Means War
Trivium Silence in the Snow
Underoath Erase Me
Within Destruction ANIMETAL
What happened to this band? Y?KAI felt like this launching point for them to become huge with a really savvy blend of new sounds, and then they went straight backwards on all future releases. Song structures are weak, lyrics are horrid. It's almost like Yokai had a ghost writer or some other special sauce they just lost.

1.5 very poor
A Day To Remember You're Welcome
Most of their albums don't have a single song you want to skip... this one has hardly more than two songs that I can make it to the end of. No identity or soul to this album, a mishmash of imagine dragon tracks and one or two 'fan pleasers' that have no heart in them. Yikes... Don't need them to make the same album again and again, but this just isn't good.
Kanye West Jesus Is King
Scary Kids Scaring Kids Out Of Light
Yikes...... I honestly was expecting this to be good? Why, I don't know. Maybe I got hyped on
what is an impressive list of vocal talent, and hearing the cool variety you would expect to come
with that. Mistakes were made. This is about as bland and uninspired as an album gets. What a
shameful thing to attach the SKSK name to.

1.0 awful
