Solid and largely without any absolute harshness, the return of Colin Doran and Co. (the still youthful intonation, sometimes even pressing like Jonathan Davis) is, strictly speaking, generic genre fare, fundamentally unspectacular and composed with few surprises, perhaps even showing a cultivated gentleness of age and moving away from the title song opener, a bit like the stylish (also: less stadium-sized, schmaltzy pathos) equivalent to 30 Seconds to Mars and Co. functioning, indirectly next to it Black Map.
