One thing I will criticize is JLB should have recorded the vocals in upstate NY. I also get the feeling a 'same-y-ness' with the choruses on this album, almost seem stock, and don't always feel like they fit with the rest of the song, to my ears. The band could be a little more creative about the chorus, or not worry about verse-chorus structure so much, I mean, they are a Progressive Metal band.
