Realized I only posted about the new album in the 'currently listening' thread.
Anyway, loved this on first listen. Some of the early comments had me a bit scared, but this is excellent. One thing that stands out to me is the sound and mix of the album. I can take or leave Bottrill, but man, he brought the goods on this. I think it is one of their better, if not best, sounding albums.
Brent seems to sing very little, but I think he finally sounds decent. That level of phlegm seems to have been removed from his throat and he sounds as good as he ever has to me. Troy just keeps evolving and his voice just gets more dynamic with every release. I credit his work with Gone Is Gone and Killer Be Killed for helping the maturation of his vocals.
And, of course, Brann continues to play Lead Drums. He's exhausting to listen to, but I love his Keith Moon aesthetic.
So, yeah, very happy with this.
