I purchased the new album a few days ago on iTunes, had a few listens to it so far.
Here are my thoughts....
What I like about the new album:
very tight, nice production, I dig the drumsounds and guitar tones a lot.
Songs are cool as well, a lot of tight rhythmic jugging on one chord (I guess that comes with the style), there are also some riffs with actual lines, to my taste there could be more of those.
I would not mind some more leads/guitar solos, it does not bother me that not every song has a guitar solo, but there's only very few solos on the album. I do like the leads that are on it, not as shreddy as Jason Richardson's leads on the previous albums, but that's cool with me. I actually appreciate some solo's that are not over-the-top shredding.
About the lyrics of the album: I usually don't pay too much attention to lyrics, especially not in this genre as the vocal style makes it very hard for me to even hear the words, but I could not miss a certain 4-letter word that starts with an 'f' being used a bit excessively on this album. Probably half of the lyrics are the f-word. LOL. It gets old really quick IMO, to the point where I'm thinking
Just my two cents.....
