Returning to an independent label after a tumultuous major-label stint, the Texan post-hardcore band delivers a massive, conceptual statement tackling the commodification of the human ego. The record relies heavily on sprawling, multi-movement progressive rock structures, incorporating piano interludes and orchestral bombast alongside their signature chaotic guitar noise. It marked a passionate, creatively reinvigorated era for the veteran alternative act.
