I definitely hope there’s a follow up to it, the potential for something great is there but it just needs a bit better execution next time

I agree with mostly everyone here. It's okay and definitely fun but ultimately very forgettable and probably will not revisit.

I wish there were more tracks like the closer, could've had so much more character and life throughout the album that way

Good review. At first when I read the "let’s observe the pros and cons" line I was dreading the review, but I'll admit that you got me. Nicely pulled off. I 100% agree about the album too. Nothing more than a less impressive Converge retread. Pointless to have started a new band just to do the same thing.

"Nicely pulled off" haha thanks man, wanted to try a different approach for a review this time around

"Pointless to have started a new band just to do the same thing." [2] pretty much how I feel about this album, it's not bad but it's nothing remarkably different from what any of the members have done in the past

I couldn't find anything to get too excited about, but it's a solid release nonetheless.

Yeah that's pretty much what it is. A solid release that doesn't do much honestly

Not bad, sort of like a death metal record for people who normally don't listen to death metal.

Whole album is just a giant gumbo of forgettable riffs and one-dimensional screams

Nice write up. This is a gym jam if I ever heard one. This sentence can use a little spitshine.

“ At first glance, the short runtime doesn’t extend its welcome is greatly appreciated within context as the brutality burdens the listeners in one fell swoop, leaving little room to breathe.”

To hate something Fantano loves is just what I miss to prove my point that the dude is an asshole...I honnestly hope its not this time though.

Edit: oh wait 5/10 aaaight ..
