Album Notes & Community Reviews

The British quartet dramatically expands their chaotic post-hardcore formula by heavily incorporating aggressive analog synthesizers, drum and bass rhythms, and even subtle orchestral string sections. 'The Mindsweep' serves as a blistering, eclectic platform for frontman Rou Reynolds' fiercely political and socially conscious lyricism. It remains a highly ambitious, futuristic collision of modern heavy rock and electronic dance music.
