I'm slowly about to 4.5 and say it's tied with Constellations. It really just sounds like part 2 to me and better produced.

Album Rating: 4.0

like the band but this is such hypocritical shit: “Metalcore is not an interesting genre at this point,” remarks August Burns Red guitarist JB Brubaker. “It's very repetitive and predictable; I want more than breakdowns and pop choruses these days.”



He's not saying no breakdowns at all, he's pointing fingers at bands that use nothing BUT breakdowns and throw in those stupid choruses. Sure, Abr use plenty of breakdowns but they write interesting riffs to go along with it and don't use pop-choruses. I can see what he means with this because I know the bands he's basically directing that towards.

This album is seriously great...I'm so glad they've returned to form and brought some of the real heaviness from Messengers back. The production is much better as well. Really seems like after stumbling with Leveler they have regained their traction with this album.

creative captivity is cool

Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound Off

Solid album overall with Count It All as Lost, Creative Captivity, and Beauty as Tragedy being the three best imo. For some reason Creative Captivity reminds me of LVCRFT from General Lee.

this sounds promising so far

Album Rating: 3.0

Very good review. Enjoyed seeing your take on past material.



Spirit Breaker and Count It All As Lost are my two favorites so far.

Album Rating: 4.5

Only listened to about 2/3 of this but what I've noticed most is that the drums are really loud and clunky. Kind of annoying. I like it though.

I think this is the best Matt's drums have ever sounded

If I didn't like Constellations, will I like this? The two songs I've heard are good, but I'm not really in the mood for a disappointment.

I'm not a big fan of Constellations, but I really like this so it just depends.

Alright, then, I'll give this a try. Good review, by the way.

Depends what you didn't like about Constellations. This definitely has more experimentation but it actually works. Individually, the band's talent has probably never been displayed better than on this album.

After a couple of listens. Solid 4.

I adore ABR, with that said this blows the rest of their stuff out of the water. I'm considering 5'ing this.

This reminds me of Constellations in a lot of ways actually

Album Rating: 4.0

It is definitely more similar to Constellations than it is to Leveler, but I think the song writing is much improved on here. Constellations was inconsistent for me with some songs being very forgettable and then a few really good ones. On this album, every track is solid and feels like it adds something to the overall listen.

what about Mewithoutyou?!!! Although I think Aaron may be Muslim, his lyrics reference from The Christian and The Hebrew Bible.

Album Rating: 4.5

Can't wait to hear this! I won't be messing with this at 192kb/s though.

Didn't songs like "Stick, Carrot, and String" dissolve the whole Aaron Weiss/Muslim theory? The song was pretty explicitly about Jesus dying for their sins I thought. Not to mention the several other ones that reference him
