So on the second listen of this album, I still think it's a masterpiece. It's a surreal listening experience. Riley's vocal ability is shown to the fullest extent. Maybe his cleans aren't great, but they're at least decent. But his growls are possibly the best in the game right now. All of the instrumentation is also amazing. The guitar work was great. Countless incredible tech-death riffs and solos. And the tone they chose was great as well. The drums do their part fantastically, as well. Some of the best and most enjoyable drums in any metal album I've heard in a while. Each and every single one of these songs is killer.
