That was the only track that stood out for me, The Tempest. Either then that the rest barely decent, nothing too shocking. Which is kind of disappointing. Then again I didn't hear any kind of buzz about this album at all...
A little different then their usual style and it sort of has a mainstream dnb feel to it. It's very obvious they were trying to mix in some rock/pop elements into it, which sort of works. But overall on the whole, it just doesn't grab out at you that much.
I think hardcore dnb fans will be a little disappointed by it, especially as a follow up to Hold Your Color which still ranks higher in my books for sure.
bottom line: nice attempt + good for a listen and archive.
6.5/10.

"Hardcore dnb fans" don't even like Hold Your Colour, and this is just horrible.

Sorry, my fault - I wrote that poorly. Those were two different thoughts. Hardcore dnb fans will be disappointed. And the other thing I was trying to get across was that this as a follow-up to that album is pretty poor. HyC was a lot better imo.
