    When the band dabbles in more disruptive sounds that deviate from A Black Mile to the Surface, the effect is fresh and exciting. ... The remainder of the album, however, is composed mostly of midtempo songs that all similarly build to predictable climaxes.

I believe they are doing things on a different level. Opening track “Inaudible” the production and catchy vocals instantly drew me in, heavenly choir voices/harmonies.
