Well, it's heavy in it's own right (to the people who wanted Iowa levels heavy). Initially, was a little dissatisfied when the two singles dropped but, after listening to the entire record, all the pieces of the puzzle fit perfectly well! What makes this album stand out is that fresh and eery carnival kinda vibe (you can hear a tiny bit of Mr. Bungle influence in songs like Spiders and My Pain ). Really impressed with this album! 10/10 for sure!
