another slight step down in their discography, but it's not bad or anything

Tale of Two Halves. Tracks 1-4 are excellent but 5-7 are really boring. This could've been an amazing album if all seven tracks were as good as "Deplorable Request".

Overall, the sound is much more atmosphere-driven than on the classic Rain Without End. Very little emphasis on riffs this time around. Sounds like a slowed down version of In Mourning, essentially. It works powerfully at times. The potential is there, but... too much filler in the back half.
