Title: genre-traitors, sellouts, etc
Product review: i can't really tell if the songwriting sucks or not, the sterile radio ready production renders the music so completely unmetal that it fades to the background of my awareness even when i try to focus on it. it seems like rock music but it's been compressed into something that could more accurately be categorized as ambient drone. every instrument, guitar, drums, vocals, sound like synthesized samples rather than organic performance. i can't fathom why any band that's been doing the metal thing since the 90s, since before this compressed reverb production technique spread through modern rock like a cancer, would let a producer do this to their music. this record is strictly for the emo-metalcore kids.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
