Pros:

Performances are undeniably powerful and hard-hitting, infusing every pounding riff and sonic moment with a deep sense of hatred and melancholy

Lyrical content is scathing and deles into some harrowing imagery, hammering away at timeless societal issues and adding to the depressing, apocalyptic atmosphere

Orchestral swells and other theatrical flourishes aid the record's pacing and help to carve out the band's niche, only further complementing the mood

Cons:

Vocals are singularly irritating, prioritising emotiveness over technique to the point of resembling a drunken pensioner wailing in a London pub

Many tracks blend together into a monotony, frequently going back to similar guitar riffs and refusing to shift from a singular theme or mood

Best: The Vulture (Acts I & II)

Worst: Queensberry Rules
