Pros:

Production is consistently clean and modern, adapting to the inclusion of some atypical timbres such as pianos and harpsichords seamlessly

Pulls together every element of a decent metal album, sustaining an evil atmosphere through some strong growls and a versatile rhythm section

Cons:

Sports an unbelievably stale and derivative sound that countless other bands had done to death a decade prior, lacking the aggression or energy that the genre requires

Even divorced from context, the riffs and melodic choices are extremely one-note and plain, rarely housing any gripping harmonic moments

Lyrical content is utterly bare bones, saying nothing with many words

Best: Murder Scene

Worst: Saturnine

4/10 Lamb Of God got neutered, it seems
