chiodos have created their first album that doesn't try everything that's been done before -
but gayer. this time around they simply say fuck it and rampage through the entire cd,
there's no place to have a bone palace ballet. here everything is made to crush the bones.
it works and it doesn't since they cater to the scene a few tooo many times.
oh and new guy makes all the difference. seriously. harsh vocals are top notch

This album is best when you go into your first listen with your lowest possible expectations.

This is what Chiodos should have been. Eerie-ness of "Bone Palace" + The chaos of "All's Well". Bolmer is impressive. Solid 4.

I hate to sound like a fan boy. But this is the type of shit I wait for. The piano is absolutely brilliant. the vocals are fantastic, both harsh and clean. The guitar is staright forward with some very elevated riffing, and there is just enough electronic feel to make it seem 'edgy and experimental' and finally, the drumming is fucking exquisite. Fuck yes Chiodos. Fuck yes

This is better than anything they did with Craig... I can't believe I just wrote that.rI guess Chiodos didn't get the memo that this was supposed to be a total flop and they were supposed to fall off the map. I'm very pleasantly surprised with this album.

I think the band made a wise change when they replaced their old lead singer. He may have had talent, but the change has obviously forced the band to step it up a notch. Where laziness was reigning, creativity and experimentation are moving on in... It'll be interesting to see their next moves.

Without a doubt their best album. Not only can they focus more on the instrumentation instead of making it "The Craig Owens Band", but the new vocalist isn't...terrible. Plus they sound so much better without having to rely on their old gimmicks of just, "LET'S FOLLOW TERRIBLE LEAD GUITAR RIFFS WITH PIANO AND CONSIDER THAT EXPERIMENTAL."

I can see what the uproar is about honestly i really could not stand Craig but I always thought Chiodos was a good band and now they have a new singer who does not try to sell you his trademark voice but is still good in his own right and the sound comes off really well. In this situation you can really see how one member really held the potential of a good band back.

Kinda sad when some random dude joins your band and creates their best album ever. Owens should be ashamed of himself.

(4/20/18): After revisiting Chiodos' third studio effort and putting the Davison-based outfit's other releases into consideration, I still firmly believe that Illuminaudio was like lightning in a bottle for them. It's the one album within their discography that feels as if it's got the most cohesion, and also the one record which is without hyperbole the least annoying. Having Brandon Bolmer on vocals instead of the usual Craig certainly helped in that regard. If only the band had opted to keep this lineup and not churn out the despicable mess that was Devil. Sigh... Decent 4.

Far better than anything they did with Craig Owen, Chiodos really matured on this album.

i want it to be AWTEW but its defs different then both. yes they've created a new unique sound without craig's vocals, but i find they're trying to be too epic and beautiful. they dont have 1 fun track. i just wish they would speed things up a bit. even the breakdowns dont get me pumped up like breakdowns should. but it's still talented and a good listen.rim just stating what I wish was on it.

What a neat little album. I can't believe they let Craig back in when he came crawling back. This is literally the only good album this band has ever made. What a shame, man.

Such a great and catchy album. The sound is so fresh and layered, and along with the their new singer's vocals, it really makes for a fantastic and energetic listen that you can really admire.

It seems as if dropping off the music map has done quiet a deal on Chiodos, for they've returned with a fantastic album that never seems to want to fit in or do anything different, but prove that the group still has what it takes to stand out in their genre, with or without Craig Owens.

Im a fan of both Craig and Brandon. so all Chiodos albums are great to me. This was in my top 10 last year and equal to Bone Palace Ballet for me, maybe even ....a little .. Caves, Love is a cat from hell and notes in constellations(favorite track ever by them)

I must be the only person who liked Craigs work. I don't really get why everyone is cumming over this cd. the albums not terrible by any means, but something just doesn't sit well with me now.
