i think im spicy about all this bc ive been an active fan since 2011, their creative direction in the last 6 years really hasnt been my thing and honestly the last two times ive seen them live ive been really disappointed. one was literally a headliner too. scoring was a great album especially at the time but i fear it hasnt aged very well (the covid specific lyrics are really cringe) but also the way their lyrics are written now feel so different to how it was during their first four albums? every single song has very on the nose lyrics, as opposed to older songs things were more of a mix of that and metaphorical or flowery and i really miss that. i also miss the melodic metal elements or even the heavy industrialness idk. the constant sequels are also very lazy imo and so is this new album name lol. also the two songs off this album so far give a very over produced metalcore vibe which is another thing i miss that old miw didnt really have. but theyve also had the overproduced thing going on for the last couple years i fear
