That new single is weird

Indeed. But it seems to be growing in me.

Imagine what it'd be like to have a single grow inside of you...

I'll admit I kind of liked the single I'm going to give this album a shot.

Single was more interesting than I expected, seems like they’re trying to mature their sound a little

That song's so damn crazy I love it.

Avenged Sevenfold don't deserve a cover art that cool

idk man, this album seems like it's going to be pretty cool

The singles have been very avant-garde so far, and this cover art is very avant-garde. I'd say it looks about right

It leaked and I loved it. Granted I'm a weird person.

Honestly I really love this one. They pretty much completely changed their sound and even though much less of a metal record than any of the ones before I think it’s the best thing they’ve done so far. Don’t expect it to be well received here but it is creative and fresh sound from them.

The Stage had its moments, I'm glad they ran with it and upped the weirdness on this one

First time I actually like something from them

Wtf... I never really liked this band. I always respected their talent though. But man this album is fucking awesome!

As predicted this album is pretty cool.

Pretty beyond "pretty cool," actually. It's fucking awesome!

Edit: Shit I didn't see the guy above me beat me to it lmao

It's weird and interesting. I got some avantgarde vibes from a lot of songs. Still, this could be so much better with some other vocalist...

Are the vocals autotuned (processed somehow, what's going on here?) on the last few songs, or am I hearing things? Rather jarring on the ears TBH.

It's definitely processed in moments, but I assumed it's intentional at least in some instances, particularly in Cosmic where there's both effects-laden and 'natural' vocals from Shadows at the same time

Crazy weird shit but excellent shit, from one of the most disliked bands in the scene. I honestly always liked them not just because they are all talented musicians but also for changing a bit on their style for every album.

It's an odder album than The Stage, but I respect them for being bold. Not enough of it is clicking with me (at least to start with) to firmly embrace it, but I do like I decent amount of it, and appreciate what they're trying with some of the rest

Not Cosmic, but songs 9 and 10.

Musically, the album is flawless. Whether it is metal music is another matter. The vocals (where they are without effect) are perfect. The producers' desire to make an album that is outside the conventional understanding of heavy rock is evident. In my opinion, this album is aimed at the fens of alternative/progressive rock stars like Muse.

What a great piece of art!

Tbh, this particular album does deserve the cool cover.

I listened to this one first thing in the morning for some reason, and I have had another two full plays till now. I am surprised and impressed. I never liked anything from this band, but this album is wild.

So far is more experimental than The Stage. I like what i'm hearing

Really digging the experimentalism here, but I'm fairly disappointed with the production. The voice sounds weird and lacks punch, the kick is too high in the mix and the guitars are a bit low. Overall this underwhelming production doesn't help glueing together the parts when there's a sudden change in the song, they feel disjointed instead of surprising. There are also some moments where the production shines, but overall I think this new approach doesn't work for their sound.

Not bad the first album of theirs I like. Tracks I like. Game Over, Nobody, We Love You, Beautiful Morning, and Easier.

Not bad at all but they'll never top City Of Evil and Avenged Sevenfold.

Very well done, I thought this band was still making simple music, but no, they are adding elegance and progressive stuff. Are they risking their commercial success to make art? Not every band does that.

Yep, definitely a weird one this, I went into the album blindly without listening to any singles first hand, and it's not at all what I expected. They made a very bold experimental move here with this, I greatly admire their ambitious effort at pulling away from the comfort zone. and it kinda works well for the most part. I'm not keen on some parts of the album but there's certainly some moments that I find intriguing.
