You mention an industrial sound. But there's no keyboard or any effects to be found on this album! There's just a lot of layers here. Fans of the band will love it.
Industrial in more of a Ministry type of way, especially with some of the riffs and vocals. I never knew that keyboards were an essential part of the industrial sound. There are some keyboard "effects" in spots but they are heavily layered in the mix. This album has some really cool moments but there are times when it's a bit much and really starts to lose me in the very similar scale runs and riff patterns throughout. This was a tough one to review for sure........
It can definitely be a bit of a cerebral overload, but I find it to be extremely rewarding if you continue to listen. It starts to click eventually. I'm not sure if you're a fan of their previous albums, but this one would probably be easier to get into if you were already a fan of the band.
