Bad, embarrassing, & immature. I gave this a try expecting I would hate it. Actually I only hate about 45% of it and liked about 10%.
There are some heavy metal solos that are quite wonderful. A couple of songs get into a nice groove. Winston's voice sometimes I find awful on stylistic grounds, but sometimes it's kinda good.
The bad aspects totally overwhelm the album though. There is tough-guy macho crap on most songs. Don't let anyone walk in the room if you're listening to this. The lyrics are often bad, and repeating the same line brainlessly. The ballad near the middle of the album is loose with no tension, and it's clear the band can't conceive of how to find the right timing to make the melody interesting. This ballad is so bad that the heavy metal solo on it is boring & pointless. Don't throw a solo into a dumpster fire of a song; it just makes it burn longer.
I wished this album would've been shorter. The brief moments of good music were nowhere near good enough to raise it to so-so territory. It's time for us to criticize the whole metalcore industry for conceiving of a genre that is defined by objectively bad songwriting and cringeworthy artistic values.

Do I deserve to be evaluated. If there is, I can only give you the worst score. I'm not ignoring their efforts to make records. I pay due respect to my efforts, but I only say that I am miserable about the results. I'm a fan of their early music and the latest album is not my style. I look forward to their next album, leaving comments on their route.

듣다보면 어느순간 Metallica의 Black Album이 연상되는 2022년 Parkway Drive의 7집. 이 앨범에서 Nothing Else Matter의 역할을 맡고있는 Darker Still을 비롯하여 Soul Bleach부터 마지막까지가 클라이막스라고 생각한다
