There was a real lack of a melody I thought. It was alright.
I liked the dark atmosphere, almost smoldering. I think it's gonna be killer live.
Yellow Moon is a highlight. The attempts to stick rock solos into it are pretty out of place, but otherwise it's one of the more interesting moments on the record.

Pendulum needs another minute at the end to cruise.

Before I heard Infallible, I told myself to be prepared for the "PJ can't write a chorus anymore" effect. And I was. And I'm glad I was, because the chorus... yeah. BUT I think there's enough I like about the song that it'll grow on me, and generally it's that Riot Act Matt groove and Ed's delivery. I'm getting big autotune vibes, that's freaking me out a bit.

Mind Your Manners is really strong. Sounds like STBC.

The percussion in "Pendulum" kind of makes it sound like "Siamese Twins" or "The Figurehead" by The Cure.

I was thinking early-era Dokken.

Fuck - I don't even mind Future Days. This album is much better than I was expecting.
Absolutely loving Pendulum and Yellow Moon

Yeah I'm going to need a few listens to decipher that. Something about a reprieve.

Why is that bad?
Because I don't like "Marker".

I love the Marker chorus and really like infallible after one listen. Future Days is much better than the live version.

Well, and then the guitars come in. Nevermind.
I like what I hear.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.

Not hearing it.
But, as a reminder, while autotune is almost certainly a presence on this record the people who work with autotune have gotten incredibly good over the years. If they don't want you to hear it, rest assured, you won't.
