It doesn't really sound like anything I haven't heard before in many other albums of this genre. The instrumentation can be nice at times, but the vocal delivery and general presentation does nothing to distinguish them from any other metalcore band of the past decade+ to the point where it drags down everything this album has going for it. |

A very mixed bag. On one hand it has some of Mac's best tracks to date, namely Nobody, Heart to Heart, On the Square, and All of Our Yesterdays, and it features some of his best and most personal themes to date, but still ends up mostly bland with many of his worst tracks since his debut LP. A majority of this album sounds the same to the point where most of it went by very quickly without any of it actually being retained and very few tracks beyond these being too memorable. It rarely deviates from the same sound and structure. While many of his prior albums had these consistent throughout for the most part, especially my personal favorite, This Old Dog, each of Mac's songs still felt unique to one another for good reasons. That isn't the case in this album as most of the tracks bleed in to each other due to just how similar they all sound, the only ones that stand out doing so because of annoying or uninspired chorus lines that are either sung in a weird, and awkward falsetto that is not very consistent, or with many vocal blemishes. A majority of these chorus lines too are just the same word repeated ad nauseam. Not his worst album to date, Rock and Roll Night Club still holds that title, but pretty close. That's not to say the album doesn't have things worth listening to. The aforementioned tracks, and Finally Alone are pretty enjoyable, with some of them actually being really good, but most of the rest of the album can pretty much be brushed over without missing much. |

The last track left a pretty sour taste in my mouth at the end. The actual track was 6 minutes,
but then there was an entire 6 minutes of silence! I've seen things done similarly before, like at
the end The Microphones' The Glow Pt. 2, and I've seen the transition of silence into another
track done well, like in the Scorpion's Lonely Nights into a cover of Marie's the Name. But never
have I seen such an unnecessary and frankly annoying usage of this technique before. Like I said,
the first 6 minutes of the track is an actual song, and it's pretty good, but then you have to sit
through 6 more minutes of silence only to be greeted with what I can only describe as ambient
filler. It doesn't build, it doesn't go anywhere, and it doesn't use anything from the album to
conclude it. It's just a continuous, droning nose for the next 5 minutes with a few occasional
hints of guitar thrown in at the last 30 seconds. It's honestly jarring, especially considering
how relatively abruptly the first part of this track ends. It's a quick fade into silence. Anti-
climactic for the track in general, especially considering that it's the final track, that just
abruptly cuts to the next part of silence only to give those who've had the patience to sit
through it a slap in the face for doing so at the end. Otherwise a great album, though I would
definitely give it a higher score if not for that last track. |
