Pros:

A masterclass in technical wizardry and performance, packed full of mind-bending metal riffs, explosive lead guitar work and powerful yet delicate vocal stylings

Utilisation of music theory is bizarre and brilliant, containing a plethora of mesmerising rhythms, exotic chord progressions and some truly exquisite note choices

Greatly diverse yet consistent, weaving complex breakdowns in around soothing clean interludes without losing direction or momentum

Cons:

Production has some hiccups, with needlessly overbearing EQs robbing some passages of their impact

Sacrifices some memorability and catchiness in exchange for its scale and scope
