Meh. It would be so much better if Chuck would stop trying to fit in, and go back to writing kickass vocal melodies.

Can't you see the writing in the air?
Die young, gonna die young,
Someone stopped the fair.

I agree. The vocals on that track are a negative factor, and he's capable of so much better.

The last album had that problem, too. "More Than Meets the Eye" sounded like the Chuck that we all know and love, even if he couldn't hit those super high wails anymore. Then, the whole middle section was like Demonic pt2. I just wanna hear chuck sing, not grunt.

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion

Screw that, the death metal vocals on The Gathering were awesome.
