Fourth-in-line from Californian The Subtle Way, and they've taken a big step into the generic metalcore/post-hardcore scene. Now with even more auto tune!
There's no denying it, it is catchy. But nothing really catches your attention, and I can only hear their thoughts on writing this album: "Hm, not crowd-friendly enough. Let's add some electronics. And let's rip off some other generic metalcore bands, that way we'll get a lot of listeners!".
Songs like The Breath And The Breathing and The Getaway is what makes me want to turn it off and listen to something else. Extreme use of unnecessary auto tuning that makes it sound as if a computer is singing is not enjoyable. Having it on in the background whilst doing something else and not entirely focusing on what you're actually listening to makes it a nice album. Otherwise, no no.
However, if you enjoy that kind of music and autotuning doesn't bother you then you'd probably think The Subtle Way's newest is pretty awesome. I, on the other hand, am pretty sick of it.
Best track: Clockwork
Score: 5/10
