| 1.0 awful | Mitch Worden EMERITUS | December 10th 18 |
I guess I have to be on the opposite side of the fence here. The only good parts feel like soulless copies of countless other metalcore bands. Everything else is trampled by nu-metal influence and completely terrible rap segments. Don't see much value here at all.

Never have I heard an album that better earns the descriptor of "mixed-bag". From the bog-standard
nu-metalcore of 'Apollo', surprisingly good tracks like 'AEON', to utter trash like 'Just
Confusing', Helix bounces from song to song like a grade-schooler off his Adderall. The result is
a directionless, baffling slurry that fails to integrate its ingredients in any meaningful way. No
amount of energy or intensity can overcome a complete lack of form. Soilwork's kid brother needs
his meds.

OK, this is probably their most consistent work yet; everything flows well together and nothing feels disjointed. This is a banger and a half.

This album is their greatest work yet. It's rpowerful, creative, and it takes risks while rstaying successfully solid.

| 5.0 classic | Bro has djent in his pie | March 20th 24 |
Probably the best nu-metalcore album made up to this point, although it's still early days for the genre. There is not a single moment that is not absolutely mosh-worthy in terms of the high-octane segments. Melodically, it's equally fantastic. A lot of nu metalcore bands let this element let them down or even don't include it at all by going all-in on the brutality side. I much prefer Crystal Lake's approach here. Every moment in these choruses is incredibly catchy and infectious and juxtaposes beautifully with the more brutal segments. Ryo Kinoshita is one of the greatest vocalists in the modern scene, and it's a shame to see him leave the band in late 2022.

More of a nu-metal album with a metalcore atheistic and it works, "just confusing" is like the title says, quite a grower and i really do dig that song now.
