I'm absolutely loving this album. It's different than previous BK albums, but an great evolution, IMO. Not that it's unfamiliar - it still feels like a BK album - great riffs, awesome vocal melodies, solid, driving chord changes, and big, fat guitar and bass tones. But there's definitely an extra polish, and the album grooves to an extent that previous BK albums have not. So my summary might be "less garage, more groove".
