Boring af. Not quite up to par with Micro and King Of Everything but let's wait for the rest of the album

Too much autotune and other electro stuff going on, not enough metal. They try so hard to be legitimized as a metal band, play metal festivals, appear in metal magazines but then release their poppiest album to date, it makes no sense. There are some great moments on the album though, like BxMxC, Shanti, Kagerou, Da Da Dance, Starlight, Distortion and parts of other songs. The new mix on Starlight is terrible and songs like Pa Pa Ya and Shanti sound out of place because all other songs have this 'future' vibe with synths and stuff. Also, I'm waiting for Arkadia live proshot because the background sounds/choirs are way too loud. ITNO and Future Metal are just useless fillers, they said that they've recorded a few more songs that didn't make it to the album, I'd rather hear that. The album isn't that great as a whole but there are some great ideas and songs. It's not nearly as creative as the previous two, that's for sure. They're definitely trying to gain western fans at all costs but that's what you get with fabricated bands from talent agencies.
