I'm most of the way through, and I couldn't even pay attention, it seems so scatterbrained. The riffs are all solid and production is fine but the storytelling, I am just unsure where is anything starting or ending or going.
I understand the comments you and others have made, but the whole thing clicked for me once I realized "Scar Queen" is basically perfect. Then "Adrenaline" hit me, then "Les Silences" – it cascades down at random until they all just... work. This is in opposition to TFP and Nomadic, which IMO are sequenced in a way where they 'fall in place' right from the start and it cascades as you listen. So they either fucked the sequencing this time, or deliberately sequenced it to be difficult and meander more than it actually does.
And obviously there will be people who won't ever find it falls into place, of course. Just saying it will likely happen this way if it does. It's how they built the thing.
