I did enjoy this record but mainly because it actually handles the genre which is often mishandled and tortune pretty well creating a short album which doesn't overstay its welcome and is a fun listen. Now, is it impressive? Not in the slightest, it does nothing new to the genre and is quite predictable in nature.

I like how they've vent more progressive metalcore but kept so many of their technical elements, with some deathcore featured somewhat prominently too, among these other genres and sounds heard within the album. This was a really good input into the Born of Osiris world. I like it and I think their albums are consecutively good and their consistency, as a band at least, is fantastic. Like I said, there's experimentation here, and it sounds good to me. I think this is probably their third best ... read more
I don't know why I expected much from a deathcore/metalcore record, but yeah, this sucks. As is with alot of others in the genre, its tough to distinguish yourself, and this just feels like a culmination of the sound of the past 10 years or so. Not impressed
To be completely fair, I left my melodic death/metalcore days behind a long time ago. I was really into After the Burial and related bands in my youth. Today... it's another story.
Being honest here, this is better than most Metalcore bands from back in the day, so it beats the competition from this kinda weak genre in the get go. It still has a lot of problems that are shared throughout the entire genre spectrum.
Thoughtfully edgy lyricism, mid-tempo and weird placed chug chugs, tasty but ... read more
