Lackluster. I feel so much is missing from this album, from the vocals to the instruments. There was this lingering feeling of let's get this over with and be done with it kind of energy. It feels like they are just going through the motions on this album. The vocals were extremely mid compared to previous albums. The guitars seemed lazily written. complete absence of the bass, and the drums were half way decent when they could be heard. The biggest saving grace for this album are the relevant and deep lyrics. When reading the lyrics, I felt very conflicted because I felt there would be more aggression. Maybe they wanted a more subtle approach this time. The lyrics felt like they didn't match the tone of the album. There seems to be a severe lack of aggrusion on these tracks.
RATING: 6.5/10
