It's better than I had anticipated but it's still lacking in the energy of the first 2 albums.Their music's also becoming very conventional rock/heavy metal. Some of it sounds quite like Alice In Chains.Overall enjoyable with some good riffs but certainly not the headfuck of Remission or intensity of Leviathan.Certainly better than the last couple of drab meander fests.
Yeah, I don't know if it's their best...I really don't have a clear-cut favorite with them. If I had to choose, I'd say Crack the Skye or Leviathan. Remission has some great songs, but it really surprises me when people talk about it as if it's far superior to their post-Leviathan stuff...vocals are bad and there are some duds on there.
But, The Hunter may crack the favorites. Too early to say. The vocals are so, so much better...and the riffs are probably superior to Crack the Skye.
It annoys me when people say this is hard rock. This is definitely still metal, although for sure not as heavy as their older stuff.
