As i read the first impressions of the new album,i can't really see anything that i have not read before.
Even i can point out the ingredients of each new DT album,without even listening to it.
That means that whichever 'review' at this point can't really tell us much.
Unless it is from Noxon,or someone that has had the time to listen to it multiple times,and digest the new material.
When the first official reviews start to come out,there will be more than what we will be able to keep up.
But then again,since we are so close to October 22,why read reviews,and not waiting for the release date, to form our own opinion?
I personally have NOT listened to The Alien,because i want to listen to the whole album from start to finish.
It will be something fresh from the few last albums,where i would listen to the single prior to the album release,
and then i would get tired of hearing it so many times.
I suggest you do the same,and if the actual album is as good as we have listened from various sources to be,
then it will definitely be a memorable experience.
