I shouldn't like this, but I keep putting it on. Familiar with its maiden throwback energy and twin guitars, but with an absolute gem of lead vocalist that I just can't get enough of. I can't help but smile while listening. Some days, I need that. |

Hitting this with a 4.5 for now, simply because it is such a vast improvement over almost everything they have done since Promised Land. I did like the 2013 release, but it was short, and the band sort of played it safe there, so that got rated a tick lower, even though it was also a big improvement. |

An odd blend of oh...Amorphis, Alice in Chains, and Woods of Ypres. Works for the most part, but I am curious to see what they can put out with a bit more writing experience under their collective belt, as there are some dips in quality here and there. Kings of Null slays, though. |
