Pretty lackluster. I loved the last two, particularly Consumed by Your Poison. While it does go back to the heavier roots, the unnecessary breakdowns and piggy squeels are still there. Breakdowns are used to connect pieces of a song. Cramming four or five of them into a song is nonsensical. Not even the most metalcore of metalcore bands do that. A little formulaic too; some sections were very predictable. It's a good listen in some aspects, I'm really diggin' "A Fractured Hand" and the opening track as well. All that aside, I expected better. Not a disappointment, but certainly a step down.

6/10
