There's definitely improvement. But it feels almost like too little too late. There are some fresher ideas, like the high screams in Broken Lens and the slower tempo of Deserter, but it feels like these things should've been the next step after Portraits rather than 4 records later. The "making of" videos had me expecting a more drastic change. So while there are redeeming moments, I'm left feeling like they over-promised and under-delivered.

This is a great return to form for this band. Will Putney's production is good, similar to
the past three records the band recorded with him. The album has lots of For Today tropes. There
are breakdowns and chugging verses galore. But the more familiar parts of the record are nicely
juxtaposed by slower, somber moments on tracks like "Bitter Roots" and "Deserter", interesting
parts like the introductions of both "Hopesless Ambition" and "Time And Tide", and tons of
interesting guitar playing. However, the best part of this record is easily the vocals. Mattie's
screams are top notch and Ryan Leitru's baritone cleans are very nice. And secular fans will be
pleased to know the band's lyrics contain much less gospel preaching, and are much more accessible
to non-Christian listeners. As a whole, this record is awesome, and it's nice to see For Today
come back so strongly after their disastrous fifth album.
