Pros:
Front-loaded with a number of high-energy, memorable singles featuring endlessly catchy hooks and solid, straightforward songwriting
Performances are extremely polished and tight, with lead vocals that display a great emotional range between soft balladry and full-throttle screams
Production is incredibly well-balanced and clean
Cons:
Pacing across the album is highly misguided, bringing the album to a screeching halt for a number of forgettable ballads and never recovering from it
Most songs towards the end are disappointingly played-out and generic, coming across as a poor pastiche of outdated rock trends
Best: Hz. Hyde
Worst: Here's to Us
5/10 Annoyingly inconsistent
