    The Dusk in Us was whittled down to thirteen tracks from eighteen and there remains a little bit of extraneous material, particularly towards the album’s close, and that uneven pacing suggests a touch of rust after so long away--‘All We Love We Leave Behind’ felt more tightly controlled.

Metalcore that is creative, marking well-executed paths outside of the norm for usual hard rock music such as this. The Dusk in Us is a first glimpse for me of Converge's style of rock, from absolutely brutal tracks such as I Can Tell You About Pain to slightly less aggression from Jacob Bannon as his voice is expressed well throughout the album, though the many layers sometimes engulf his brilliant vocals at certain points in the album.

    Loved it.
