The intro to pull is beautiful tho.

I think the band most definitely wrote a fantastic song... but it gets undermined right off the bat by a mix that buries the vocals until the hook kicks in. I'll still bump the track, and maybe I'll get used to it, but this isn't the first time that the vocals are very low in one of their songs, and I just dont entirely understand the reasoning

Made a nice little dent for me for whatever that counts!



@Squanch I get what you mean, but I've come to like when they bury the vocals a bit. Lets the instrumentation take the forefront a little and makes it even more appealing when you do hear the lyrics

@Feather I also see your perspective! I appreciate focus on the instrumentation, but I'm just a stickler for vocals and the production on the vocals doesn't sit right with me in certain moments. Album is still (probably) their best thus far

hmmm that closer is pretty tight but idk if it's the production or my mood but this doesn't do much for me. It's like Citizen with more energy but fewer hooks.

This blows their past work out of the water. The vocalist hasn't always sat perfectly with me, but I like the more scream-forward approach he has here.

The run from Mirrors through to the end is the best 3-song run I've heard on any album this year.

This is so thick in some places and that's definitely the best part. Spotify seems to be compressing the album more than usual for me so I'm gonna look into that. It sounds like it should be everything I'd love but that compression makes it sound too small. I'm betting these songs mostly kill live

Just checked my audio settings, I think it was "loudness equalization" which was enabled for some reason. I listened this album twice on repeat and it sounds much better now

@Supernatural can confirm this (and their back catalogue) all sound great live. Saw them this past weekend at Riot Fest and their new songs sounded fierce. Vast improvement on the screams. They don't sound gimmicky live (they used to).
