Prog metal bands often fall into two different camps. 1. They focus on intricate and technical music first. The vocals are then added on and they are obnoxious. 2. They have a dedicated singer who focuses on technical vocals and they are obnoxious.

This record is a prime example of why I stopped doing numerical scores when I started my own thing. What even is an 8? And are two 8s the same quality? Sometimes a record is brilliant and also sounds weird. Having multiple descriptive ratings feels way more accurate to me.
