In an era of readily digestible music at the click of a button, it takes special ingredients to stand out from the horde. Others, however, continue to rest on their laurels.

It's not that I hate metalcore, I do enjoy bits and bobs of the stuff. But this is entirely generic, whiny and repetitive.

This is classed as "Technical Metalcore"... As if that's even possible. How can crappy copy-paste metalcore ever be technical? 🤣🤣🤣

I have listened the whole discography but this.
yes there are good guitar work in between but the biggest problem with this band is weak songwriting. there are sometimes lack of connection and the flow does not feel right most of the time.
it feels like these guys have adhd and they are always improvising which is probably why there is a "technical" part at genre (i am not a technical metal person to judge doe. correct me if i am wrong.).
nevertheless, i will lastly try this album and see how things are going on with the band and hopefully find some piece and connectivity because they got the potential.

Urghhh..What a waste of a time.... All the same yells and shrieks, horrible songwriting, uninspired rendering,......The negative list goes on. This genre is already dying and ABR is helping the cause.

In the beginning I was made of clay. Then I bit the apple and they changed me to metal 🤘

I'm getting so sick of the word generic to describe music. It's so .. Generic.
