Solid follow up to The War of Art, a bit more experimental on the instrumentation later on in the album, but overall a very good effort from AHC. The more I listen to them I can hear the Faith No More influence.
I feel like no one really talks about how excellent this record is, basically every song keeps you hooked and there's barely a down moment, even at the end with the more depressing title track.
Possibly the greatest heavy guitar tone ever, every song sounds so brutally crushing.
It's close to 5 years since this album came out, and with Ca$ino dropping tomorrow I decided to finally give The Melodic Blue a full listen. Holy fuck am I disappointed. Aside from some of the songs just not making sense sonically, he sounds fucking terrible on most songs. Keem's half ass mumble rapping really makes this a chore to get through.

Least Favorite: South Africa
You're telling me Phil Bozeman is on one of the lowest rated songs?
Listen to this if you like literally any of their songs, The Carrier is a very consistent band that don't stray far away from their sound.
I was personally underwhelmed by some of the songs on disc 29, but overall this is a great album. 100% not his best album, but it definitely deserves a must hear.
How the fuck is any of this Noise Pop? People just be adding whatever genre they feel like...
I lost all respect for anyone involved in this. Fuck Mike Shinoda, RIP Chester Bennington. LP is not LP without Chester, they should've just came up with a different name.
