Pros:
An interesting and unique melding of genres, incorporating many electronic synths and more rock-oriented elements under the same roof
Lyrical content is often potent and empowering, shifting between moods of hope and despair well
Guitars, when allowed to shine, can be soulful and expressive
Cons:
A largely disconnected and jumbled package, awkwardly switching between disparate ideas, themes and sounds with a lack of connective tissue
Vocals, while diverse, are a constant source of irritation
Many more groove or lyric-oriented tracks are unbelievably simple, driving their monotonous melodies into the ground with repetition
Best: Weep
Worst: Pure Love
5/10 Musical whiplash
