I feel the same about the “density” part, but overall they didn’t disappoint with this album, I really liked it. Some of my standout tracks are probably 1523, The Fires of Frustration, Renegade Ashes and Standing on the Work of Slaves. One thing I noticed through years is DsO’s poor dynamic range. “Furnaces”, on the other hand, seems to be much better in regards of this aspect.
