Absolutely- great song, great metal production. Leans back to their first two albums but also has some of the power from the last one. Michael is an incredible vocalist. I like this new grit he has to his voice.

Wow, they're not holding back on their beliefs on this one. Gone are the days of ambiguous lyrics that have double meanings. They crack your mouth open with a Jesus fist on this tune. Pretty good, but I really haven't been much of a fan since IGWT. I do think Sweet and Fox are the best guitar duo in the industry, though.

Love this!

Only gripe is the lead-off scream. It's sort of a cliche at this point. :D

This was one of my favorites of 2020. It's just all-around tight and every song is highly memorable. Probably their best album.
