I wish this album was better, as since I first listened to the band some of my favorite songs from them are found here; sadly, there’s just a shit ton of filler. The banger songs bang but the rest is kinda mediocre at best.
Best tracks: I’m the One, Start a War, Skinnyman, The Enemy
Worst tracks: Brainfog, Just in Case, Otsego Amigo, Pieces

This album by this band is honestly my favorite so far! With the return of Koichi Fukuda in the band (he only preformed some guitars and programming on this album, Tripp Eisen did most of the guitar work) He proves that his return with programming makes this album a really fun treat! I’ll give this album a 5/5 for creativity with its electronics, the return of ulrich wild on production, and the instrumentation!
