Intriguing record, not every song catches me during my first listening, but I kinda wanna come back to the album. Intervention is the best track so far, staying with me after the album is finished.
It dances between 4 and 5 stars, but especially the high variety of the tracks pushes it into 5 stars.

If you want to build up some tolerance against repetition torture, this is for you. Some songs are re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-really annoying, but there are some bangers though...
Overall, would I listen to the entire album again out of my own accord? No.
Would I be massively opposed to listen to it again? No
Would I listen to individual tracks? Hell yes.
So, I guess, the entire album is ok, middle of the road for me.
