Pros:
Hooks and choruses are consistently memorable and somewhat catchy, infusing many with some inspired choices including modal shifts and other surprises
Electronic soundscapes are a somewhat more fitting palate for the group, layering up synths quite nicely
Cons:
Songwriting is ungodly stale, derivative and predictable, resorting to the same structures and devices over and over without any attempt at creative freedom or experimentation
Production is so overbearing and flat as to suck the soul out of almost every sonic element, reducing the performances to generic rock playing at best and harming many climactic moments
Lyrical content is satisfactory at best, saying a whole lot of nothing with a lot of words
Best: The Tide
Worst: Out of Here
