I have been waiting for this album to come out for the last year or so! I have been following all of the guys on Twitter while they have been dropping clues about the album and recording it!
This is there fifth full length album, but they do have a shitty EP out as well. Every album that they have released you have heard and seen a clear growing in the band. They have matured from that screaming band to a band that is not scared to try new things. With that maturity they went back to their old sound with this album. This is a very heavy album, but it shows their maturity as well. Keith (the lead singer) has taken voice lessons and the band takes more time to focus on their own art. When they do sing (and not scream) they play with different looping and voice over effects. The screaming is better as well because you can hear the notes instead of just the wailing scream. The music is very heavy as well, and they have tried to be more artistic with how they finalize everything! The feedback features in the music are a nice treat for the listener!
Look for appearances on this album by The Dillinger Escape Plan and Fall Out Boy! I am trying to read into his lyrics now and figure out where he is trying to go with this album. (Keith majored in English and all of his lyrics are VERY poetic!) (That will be posted in the next few weeks!)

Actually, I think Buckley was a high school English teacher before the band took off. Such a sweet album by the way!
