This is an odd one. The band dragged out released in EP last year with the majority of these songs on them. Other than 2 songs (one a full song and another an interlude), you are essentially getting the same EP again. Besides rearranging the EPs tracklist, these are essential the same songs. No new mixes or new song arrangements. So unfortunately you are still getting the episode again, just repacked. So you are still getting these really dragged-out songs that sound sonically good with decent vocal performances. The new song included on this album doesn't deviate too much from their formula of heavy and slow hardcore. I will say the pacing on this new song is decent. The flow from the previous song to the interlude makes it a nice inclusion in their set. Then the interlude has this robotic impending doom feel to it; however, it ends so fast and you get thrown into the next song that it just fills like filler to help bad out the album. If you have listened to their EP, you already know what to expect from this album and band.
