This is a great album from an OK band. Their previous effort was good, but each track was either hit or miss. This album is a bit more consistent, and each of the members have upped their chops. A lot of the songs have solos which are well constructed and I feel the riffs are more original. Monty really upped his game, just listen to The Gullotine pt. 2. The bass lines really shine on this album and stray off from the guitar a lot. The drumming is passable, a few good fills here and there, but nothing special.
On to the HUGE change. The vocals. Ronnie wasn't the best vocalist but I felt he had a ton of passion in his singing. Craig is a more consistent vocalist, but I don't feel the same passion from him. I do believe his screams are better though, but his clean singing is only decent.
And yes, a couple songs are rather poppy, but there were a couple poppy songs on their last effort too. Which is an okay thing, it doesn't have to be all hard and heavy. It's ESCAPE THE FATE, not All Shall Perish or anything brutal.
Over all, great album and an enjoyable listen.

I picked this up randomly one day and it's grown on me. Out of the 9 tracks, about 5 are very good, and the others are bland as any deathcore outfit. They don't use those generic open chord breakdowns much and there is actually nice moments of groove. The vocalist can get annoying, not because he's terrible, but because he lacks range.
Good album, nothing spectacular though.
