“I never thought this day would come. This is the first time in 16 years of listening and loving to everything these guys have released that I didn’t really felt much from the album. Maybe it’ll grow on me with more listens, but not even one song felt special to me. Idk, I’m kinda sad now lol. Still ”
“I’ve been listening to the album a lot these past few days, and I can appreciate many of the things they improved, but there are still a lot of songs I end up skipping, and overall it’s definitely their weakest album. It has some good moments, but it’s my least favorite album in their discography.”
“I think the new album mediocre. It's not bad... but nothing extraordinary either. There are good tracks like Everyone dies Alone, but nothing special.”
