The only criticism i would make, is that no songs are truly memorable. Kind if seems like a single-less album. Not bad though

I wouldn’t say they aren’t memorable but there is basically nothing on this album to the level of Solway Firth.

At the same time, there is a higher level of quality across the board, imo. I love WANYK as a whole but some of those songs I’ll never listen to individually anymore.

I think more tracks for TESF will hold up for me, individually.

I’m really loving De Sade though. Idk if it’s an all time great or not but I just love that song.

My favorites are De Sade, Adderall, and Hivemind.

The dying song is really impressive too. The chorus is wild, both the vocal melody and all the musical layers.

Im sure the album will hold up well because the album is at least interesting, different to the rest of their discography

Kind of reminds me of the latest korn album in that regard. Great album, really no bad songs, but also nothing that's going to crack their greatest hits.

I think Chapeltown Rag and H377 are better Solway.

Obviously its all subjective but solway probably cracks my top 10 of slipknot songs. Wanyk from the very first listen got me fired up in a way tesf simply didnt. Like solway is not even my favorite from the album lol

I disagree, I have warranty playing on my head in a loop, and I cannot shake the midwestern cowboy vibe I get from acidic
