Dammit BVB, why can't you just let me hate you? Instead, they made "Vail, their best album to date. So I was worried about this album, as it could really go any way. I didn't like anything, I didn't hate anything, it was the definition of "meh". And I can confirm, without a doubt, it was the most average album I've ever heard. It was damn good, and that got me excited for their eponymous album. Within a year, they changed and created an album I still listen to on occasion all these years later. They were far too over dramatic and edgy for my taste, If you liked them, more power to you, but I couldn't stand them if my life depended on it. Their first two albums, in my opinion, were emo trash. They were far I have a bit of a complex relationship with Black Veil Brides (BVB).

Overall, this album is a fantastic addition to the bands catalog, if you were already a fan of the band you will love the album, and if you weren't already a fan of the band this album will probably have at least a couple songs that you will find yourself at least nodding along to. The main saving grace for this track is the fact that they kept the violin driven masterpiece Overture II as part of this song instead of making it it's own track (which I would have highly preferred). The only track on this album that seems to fall flat is the overly long "Dead Man Walking" this song just feels drawn out and forced. Moments like "When They Call My Name" and "Vale" show the band embracing their ability to write catchy, meaningful ballads yet again, a trend we have seen from them on their past two efforts as well. While they certainly bring their A game on the heavier songs, the slower songs are given their time to shine without being overshadowed. "The Last One", "The Outsider", "My Vow"). The choruses on this album are some of the catchiest that the band have ever written (i.e. While the second half of the album isn't as captivating as the first half, the songs in the second half are still very high quality. Jaw dropping guitar work is something to be expected from a BVB record and this album did not disappoint. As always the instrumentation throughout the album is flawless. However, this album lacks the cohesion in the storytelling that "Wretched and Divine" had.
The band go back to the concept of their "Wretched and Divine" album and seemingly attempt to make this album a sort of sequel to that story. One of the most notable differences upon first listen is the lack of screams from Andy, which doesn't hinder the album in any way.
