An ultimately disappointing release as a result of a huge amount of hype. The major single of the album 'Show Yourself' is far too 'poppy' and not to my taste, coupled with its 3:03 run-time makes me think this track was crafted by a back of house manager to be 'radio-friendly'.. Well it kind of worked for them - number 4 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs charts in 2017..
Ultimately I think this was a huge step backwards in song writing and musicianship for the band from Crack the Skye.
