I am halfway through the second song of this, which is further than I've gotten on any previous AFI release
I see why A Perfect Circle would be namechecked here but I feel it's a little too bombastic/conventional to really link to The Thirteenth Step so far? Very little syncopation, the guitars aren't used the same way, little-to-know time signature fuckery so far, and personality-wise the singing is not at the same level.
It's like Green Day covering The Thirteenth Step, which isn't as damning a comment from me as it would be from others.

"Heart Stops" sounds like New Order covered by Blink 182

the idea that this sounds like a tolerable amalgamation of Muse and Coldplay crossed my mind and now I can't shake it and it's lessening my enjoyment of the album ;_;

the thirteenth step comparison occurred to me in the middle of listening to "no resurrection"; i agree it's sort of like if a pop-punk band attempted that depth of mood, and i think it works really well

also i can maybe hear muse but i have no idea where you're hearing the coldplay
