To be fair this album has been hyped up to the MAX. I love Architects and have heard only a couple of songs off of this, but this review has subtly lowered my expectations.

Pretty good review, though you claim two different tracks are probably your favorite on the album (We're All Alone, and Follow the Water) which I found kind of odd. Other than that, good job, yet another review that is shorter than average but gets the job done.
I still fail to see the repetitive structure though. The first 3 songs are pretty similar but I think the band ends up covering quite a lot in terms of songwriting and soudscape by the end of the album.

Nah, it really isn't.

This album is incredible, and this has set the bar so high for any future metalcore release it's unreal.
Review was OK, and I don't agree with most of the aspects you point out, such as "predictable tapping", and "forced transition".
And another review to the endless piles of comparisons to Jane Doe, if anything is getting predictable it is reviews comparing it to a good Converge album.

well it's kind of justified because Jane Doe is 'the' metalcore album

Nah, not really. That album is way too hyped here, similarly to Blackwater Park.
|

no it's not. not if you really really listen to it. next time you're really really angry/upset put it on and it'll smack u in the face with how much u love it and will continue to love it from there on out.

lol I shouldn't have to be in a particular mood to love something. If it's that good, it should force me into that mood naturally and tbh, the vocals will always annoy me way too much on that album for me to think it's anything more than a 4. I've listened to it at least 10 times and the only track that really does much for me in the title track, which most lovers of that album seem to think is the weakest song on it.
Metalcore like this feel much more focused and intentful that just raging emotions for the sake of raging emotions.

ah no! you misunderstand me the album is always amazing you just dont realise it till you listen to it in that mood. then it hits you and every time you listen to it from then on regardless of mood you will understand. idk it's hard to explain but i didnt really think much of it once.

I like Converge but I've always thought that Jane Doe was a bit over-rated on this site.

in the first sentence you say "2006's Ruin", Ruin's released in 2007.
I agree with this, I'm kinda disappointed with the album too, at this point everything seems a bit too predictable

Just listen to The Broken Vow dude. That song is the pure essence of metalcore.
There are some instances where I think Architects almost reach that level of intensity and blend of hardcore and metal. They don't overuse breakdowns and when they do use them, they use them to full effect. Overall I think Architects are heading in the right direction but they just need to leave their comfort zone with more intent, not just throw in a few more soft/melodic sections.
