Architects — All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
✦✦✧✧ This album is a vast improvement over the band’s previous album, “Lost Forever // Lost Together.” The excesses of that album have been reigned in, which alone is redemption enough. The production is also a notch better than last time, with the heavy parts really delivering. Admittedly, the cumulative effect can sound at times like a hybrid between TesseracT and Linkin Park.

Good Tiger — A Head Full Of Moonlight
★★★★ A stunning debut for a group of ex-members from The Safety Fire, The Faceless, Architects, and TesseracT. The first surprise is that the resulting sound doesn’t sound like a mishmash of styles culled from those other bands, or really even a mishmash at all. To be fair, you can hear elements of those bands in the music, but you’re more likely to be reminded of Tool, The Mars Volta, and Glassjaw. See the rest here
Architects — Lost Forever // Lost Together
★☆☆☆ This album is a bit of a mess. Part djent, part tweenaged metalcore, with a smidge of EDM sensibility thrown in. I can’t say that I liked it very much, although there were a few moments that elicited genuine headswaying. See the rest here
