✦✦✦✧ Continuing their exploration of kitchen-sink post-deathcore, EE sacrifice cohesion for a cavalcade of endlessly tasty bits. This turns out to be a winsome choice, and a recipe for a grower of a record. As was also the case of its predecessor, the album is possibly 15 minutes too long for my attention span, but so what?

✦✦✦✧ This is an uneven deathcore album, but the highs outweigh the lows. I can’t help but imagine that if the band had focused on a 45-minute album, it might have made it to four stars. Alas, this 67-minute opus makes you hang in there for all the gems, which are plentiful thankfully.

✦✦✧✧ It’s kind of refreshing to hear an album in 2019 that isn’t trying to temper its deathcore with other influences. Instead, here you’ve got naught else but metalcore by numbers. (The real pisser is that I can tell there could be some interesting riffs and musicianship under all that oppressive weight.)
