Most of the songs work and are nice, easy listens but unfortunately they are all too short to feel like fully developed material. If every song didn't end prematurely, this would probably be a great album. As it is however, it's an album of pretty good interludes.

Oh Sleep Token... why are you like this?

The anonymous alt metal/pop/prog/R&B/hip-hop/now reggaeton (?) group has decided to take the worst elements from Take Me Back to Eden and turn them up to 11 here, further casting to the wayside the strengths displayed on their first two albums.

'Look to Windward' is the biggest disappointment on this record, because we actually get a great 8/10 or better song ruined by yet another forced, out of place rap section in the middle of the ... read more

I haven’t listened to this so I don’t really have any skin in the game, but I will be super disappointed in yall if you let melon drop the average by 10+ points when this record was clearly rather well received before he gave his opinion.

Rating is just for the new tracks (1-10) and not the remixes and live stuff. Industrial alt-metal sound that I think they could expand more on. It's aight.

Y'all are hatin'.

This album is basically Bring Me the Horizon's love letter to 2000s emo with a hyperpop sheen. Normally I'd poke fun at a band for having such obvious influences scattered around on a record, but I get the feeling that this album was intentionally made to sound like a 2000s scene kid's playlist. You've got The Used (YOUtopia), Deftones (limousine), Linkin Park (Darkside), Underoath (...duh), MCR (Lost), and then a couple modern influences like Sleep Token (spiritual) and Post ... read more

IT SLAPS

FINNEAS COOKED

ITS FOR THE GAYSSSSSSSSS

NO STRAIGHTS ALLOWED

etc, etc, etc

Best songs: Skinny, Chihiro, Blue.

This is perfect for when you’re taking the Nebuchadnezzar on a night drive through Machine City.

The first half of this record is probably an 80, but unfortunately the majority of the songs after Speed of Sound are quite dull.

Honestly seeing people dogpile on this album and the average score drop around 20 points after two prominent reviewers destroyed it is kinda sad. It's their worst album sure, the trap/rap influences on Ascensionism, Granite, The Apparition, and the title track are hamfisted and corny and undermine a project that seems to be taking itself rather seriously. But the rest of it ain't that bad at all.

I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT ICE LOVEADE

The lyrics crying about how people didn't like their latest couple of albums are cringe.
