Even as a fan of Godsmack, I'm somewhat let down with this album, leaving me with an impression that a lot of it's songs are following a trend in hard rock/metal music right now that I just don't find appealing. Repetitive and predictable hooks, uncreative guitar riffs, and what I found most disappointing was that it didn't have that classic Godsmack 'feel' in the vocals, riffs, and tone that I found many of their previous albums up to The Oracle had. Their 'Godsmack', 'Faceless', and 'Oracle' albums all had sort of a dark and cryptic feel to it that just wasn't there for me in this album. Just my opinion though, still haven't fully listened to it in it's entirety.
