First of all i think it's very brave for this band to make such an album. Even though i do like the older stuff a bit more, i tried to look at First of all i think it's very brave for this band to make such an album. Even though i do like the older stuff a bit more, i tried to look at the album with an open mind and just criticize it on the music and leave my personal opinion as far as possible away from it.



INSTRUMENTAL: The instrumentals on the album are very experimental and really gives a comfortable drive to the songs. Sometimes i do miss the pure sound of the guitar in some songs ( i don't mean it has to be heavy, i just miss the pure sound of the guitars here and there). The drums did a really good job in combining the electronics and acoustic elements.



VOCAL: Even though it's too obviously edited, the vocals really took me, but also sometimes i was missing the emotional drive in Oli's voice. (Again i do not mean he has to sing heavy), even though his vocals in the scream part of "Why you gotta kick me when i'm down" are amazing!



LYRICS: For every BMTH album so far the main reason why i listen to the band. And the lyrics do get better and better, even though the sound is getting less alternative.



FAVORITES: Mantra, Wonderful Life, Why you gotta kick me when i'm down.

LEAST FAVORITES: Medicine, Mother Tongue



POSITIVE SIDES: Experimental, Well written, Great harmony between the instruments.SOME songs were approached very original.

NEGATIVE SIDES: Some songs are a bit too repetitive and doesn't need to be 4/5 minutes, SOME songs a bit too generic and less original.
