I guess I'll have to join the "meh" category, since half the songs of the album seem to fly by without notice.
Goodbye Divinity is nice and groovy, it sounds fresh and has a rhytm that really keeps the song going. Desolate July is a really good melodic piece, and also King of Delusion is a bit unusual and therefore fresh.
But the rest? all of the heavy, fast songs are pretty meh. It's not that they're bad, they're just forgettable. Wither to Black, Asphyxiation, Fall to Ascend and Resurrection Day... I can't really save one, maybe Wither to Black because it has a nice progression in the bridge, but they all fail to get you going.
Also the final epic... maybe it needs more listenings, but it sounds forgettable without any really big highlights. Nice intro, then it's an usual song, something happens different after the second chorus and then it's random solos after random solos and in the final minutes the chorus comes back because it has to end somehow. It doesn't really take you on a journey or makes you interested, it's just... happening and then after 15 long minutes it finally ends.
I've seen the debates about "what did you expect from this band"... well, I expected good songs, to make it very simple. What is a "good songs"? hell if I could anticipate it, music tastes are subjective and there's no formula for which you could say "if they write this and that with a certain melody and a certain structure I'm absolutely certain I will like it". Whatever the result, I would have wanted for something to grab me. If they all went for the more melodic stuff like Goodbye Divinity, Desolate July and King of Delusion maybe I would have loved the record, some other people would have complained "where are the faster songs" but I wouldn't have minded because I would have liked a "slower" album in this example. But 4 fast songs out of 4 being very average and a big final epic that makes you forget what you were listening during the inevitable long solo.... it drags the album down too much for me. Considering how God of the Sun is by far my favorite song of them and that Divine Addiction was such a cool song, I'd daresay that - of course based on my tastes alone, it's not that I'm right - they should just stick to the more melodic, groovy and bluesy songs and just forget about writing heavy stuff, they don't seem to have a kickass and convincing fast song in them.
Pity because Goodbye Divinity was such a promising start for this album cycle....
