I pay no attention to reviews on big sites anymore, they're just advertising pieces with no critical appraisal at all. They try harder not to pi$s off the biz side and encourage the reader to click on their tagged purchase links than offer any real insight into the quality of the music. Rust In Peace and Peace Sells... are 9/10 albums, almost perfect but ever so slightly flawed. Having heard a couple of songs off this one, there is no way it's at that level. They gave Distopia 8.5/10 ffs π
You have to scroll a long way down to find anything below 8/10 on Blabbermouth. Utterly meaningless scoring. I'm looking forward to hearing the whole album, all the same, though if it's something which warrants more than one or two listens it will be an achievement, to be honest.
