Pros:
Oppressively dark and brooding atmosphere, with haunting lyrical content and a nightmarish soundscape
Tonnes of punchy and massive riffs and hooks on here, implementing many memorable choruses and frighteningly low tunings
Unique and disturbing vocal delivery carries many tracks
Cons:
Shallow and lifeless production undercuts many otherwise powerful, heavy moments
Often rather simple and plain in its songwriting, sacrificing musical complexity for catchy appeal
Many slower tracks are aggravatingly plodding and space-filling, particularly in the atrocious bagpipe inclusions
Best: Coming Undone
Worst: Throw Me Away
6/10 Not as horrifying as I'd hoped
