“But they took elements away rather than replace that gap with new ones. Losing dynamic range should’ve warranted more surprises in the audio spectrum—I don’t expect them to replicate the land mine ending to “Infinity Guitars,” but what about the horns from “Kids”? Where’s the resourcefulness that their bigger budget’s supposed to reflect?

The bigger culprit is the decision to cast off much of their hip-hop element, which kept the songs uptempo, and rely more on chugging metal, which gives even the better tracks like “Road to Hell” a dragging feel.”

this is basically how i feel about reign of terror, aside from road to hell, which i think is the worst song on the album. there’s too much guitar and not enough of everything else. i particularly miss the hip hop beatz that made me dance like an idiot everyday for 6 months straight. i’m just disappointed, considering treats was game changing and it was literally one of the best things i had ever heard (and it remains to be). treats blew my mind. reign of terror bores me.
