I already complimented on it earlier, but Chino's voice on this seriously sounds like he's 10 years younger. The processing on it in some songs is still the same as always too, good shit. I love it.

Is this album heavier than SNW and White Pony?

it doesn't have a Korea/Elite or a Rapture/Rats on it, meaning there's no one or two songs that are straight heavy (both instrumentally and vocally)

however, I think that as a whole, Chino's screams take a backseat to his pure singing on this record, but the instruments remain heavy with less "Teenager" and "Pink Cellphone" BS

help?
Yep, I think so. So musically it is but vocally it's less? Well that's disappointing to read but from the comments it seems there's enough Chino power.
Open-minded?  Here's some short videos to challenge your thinking:

Yep that pretty much sums it up

don't worry, Chino rips off a few insanely awesome screams so it's not all "light"

Absolutely. I love Will Haven :)

It sounds a lot like one of the Will Haven songs with the previous new singer (Jeff) actually, not Grady (but I read that Grady is back now ever since the Chi benefit!!!)

I don't understand why people would even compare this album to ones that came 10 and 13 years ago.  Yes it obviously sounds like the newer albums but it's much more focused.  That's the main difference.

Corleone

Prince has such a grunge feel, fucking make it a single.

Penicks

Well, finished listening to it for the first time. Royal and Sex Tape are definite winners in my book.

Nope. I'm bummed. I wanted to wait and buy it and then listen for the first time. And now it's going to be next to impossible to resist and not download it... Damn...

Yeah I feel bummed, but  I still downloaded it. As long as I know I'll buy it it shouldn't be a problem.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
