Looking at the past 3 albums, Diamond Eyes was an album I loved, with strong writing from beginning to end. KNY was very decent and had some really strong parts, but lacked here and there.
Then here comes Gore, an album I was highly looking forward to, but for me its just ok. There definitely are some very strong songs on the album, but a lot of it just sounds like noise. Just wayward, unfocused and all over the place. I just don't find the songwriting very strong.
I really like Prayers/triangles, phantom bride and rubicon, but the rest just doesn't do it for me. I was ready to really love this album, but I will enjoy it as much as I can non the less.
