I think it sounds a lot like Lateralus 2, not that it's a bad thing just that they aren't a band that repeats themselves much. I liked my first spin through the album but it left me wanting certain aspects from their past. I wanted more aggression in the vocals and overall they keep getting softer with each album. Still great but they aren't what they were. The raw sounds of Opiate and Undertow are what drew me to them, that is long gone.
