production sounds tight. guitar tones notably but I do think their is some overproduction. different direction and definitely the most accessible record they've written. Not as heavy by any means.

Sounds pretty fucking good minus that "experimental" song.

dig it a lot actually.

I think it sounds like shit. Holy shit the vocals and lyrics are terrible. And tht one song sounds like linkin park...

I wanna like this WAY more than I do... He only screams in 3 songs... For anyone that has the same-ish taste as me (or wants to hear their old style more), I'll simplify... Only songs worth keeping are,
1. Fate
2. Liberate Me
8. Enemy
9. Invincible
10. A Sun That Never Sets

The rest are REALLY mehhhh. But not bad by any means. It's just progression, and I think David Bendeth had a lot to do with it... A lot of these songs sound like they will receive heavy airplay, and you really can't hate on the band for wanting that. That being said, they don't deserve the mindless hate, people should just mention that they don't like it.

I'm so disappointed that this one does nothing for me at all, they were a hugely important band to me in high school. I'll stick to the few few albums.

I think his scream is terrible and forced. They sound so much better without the screaming in my opinion. I really like the production.

sounds more like regression to me.. given their talent, feels like they're dumbing themselves down

I don't think they have shown their full potential, Matt especially, since The Ghosts Among Us.

Wow, I used to love this band but this album just seems.... boring

this is either going to make them BOMB because they will lose all their original fans or this will BLOW them up. I feel like this will be a polarizing record

I have only played it once through so far. I thought is was enjoyable but nothing special, wish it was heavier too.

they should have put out "liberate me" as the single. That chorus ripps

I wish it was a little bit heavier, as I was a huge fan of all their previous releases but I do really enjoy most of these songs. Dem cleanz, production is pretty ridiculous too
