Good review. Personally i'd score it a mark higher at 7.5

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Agree with "Survival" feeling like a parodic interpretation of Muse, but I'd add the two title tracks and "Liquid State" into the group of songs I don't care for. The rest, for me, is generally solid, with a few flashes of brilliance along the way. I very enjoyable record, to be sure, and an interesting one, but something I feel more likely to toss into my honorable mentions pile then on my favorite albums of the year list.

I look forward to reading more of your reviews. You seem to give things a chance and really explain your explanations really well of likes and dislikes. keep up the good work!
