Here's my biggest gripe so far, may edit this post later with more:
- Unlike bands like Skeletonwitch, High On Fire, Converge, etc that have a very rock steady sound, they still manage to make each new album have it's own complete identity that feels brand spanking new each time; but with Volition, it feels like I've heard this exact album from them before. And in the end I just feel like I could just pop on Fortress or Kezia. Death Angel's most recent fell into this pit trap, it's good, but it's like a regurgitated Relentless Retribution, which I already have, so why would I want another album of the same?
- None of the songs feel like they really have their own identity whatsoever.
