Just got through my first listen and, oh dear, this is really, really poor in my opinion. Wasn’t a huge fan of Goodbye Divinity, it was on ok, fairly enjoyable song but nothing more. Sad thing is that it’s the best song on this album by a huge margin. Only my first listen granted but this is a big step down even from Psychotic Symphony imo. I think I may even prefer the Adrenaline Mob album to this. Will be beyond shocked if they make it to album number 3 at least with this lineup.
When I heard Goodbye Divinity again, I was thinking ok, it’s not bad, probably enjoyed it more than I had previously. The second song wasn’t terrible either, it was ok and my hopes began to rise. I hated pretty much everything I heard after that. Just dull uninspired riff after dull uninspired riff, zero catchy melodies in the vocals or memorable choruses. I didn’t hate the first album like some. It was a solid 6-7 out of 10 and I thought they had some potential. That is why this is so disappointing and couldn’t give it more than 3-4 out of 10.
Just my subjective opinion obviously and some others seem to like it which is great, I’m glad others get some enjoyment out of it even if I don’t. Looks like I will just have to get my MP fix from Transatlantic and Neal Morse for the time being and hope for a Liquid Tension Experiment reunion at some point.
