Negative Positive
Title: Uninspired
Review: Relative to "War all the Time" and "Full Collapse", "A City by the Light Divided" is a huge disappointment. Maybe it's in the production or maybe the songs are simply not as well written, but the entire release lacks the melody and hooks that are prevalent in the earlier material. The Other Side of the Crash is clearly an attempt to build on Understanding in a Car Crash, but without the urgency and punch. There are a few decent cuts, such as Running from the Rain, but mostly the band sounds uninspired.
Is the review positive or negative?
