The vinyl sounds amazing and I'm glad it is NOT edited. One reviewer mentioned their copy (I assume digital download, but not for sure) was edited. This is not the case for the vinyl - it is unedited and sounds absolutely amazing. Mine came in Orange (1 of 889), but Atreyu has this vinyl out in just about every color. It's very nice to randomly get a rare(r) one.

Blending heavy metalcore moments with infectious grooves and melodies blended together with sort of emo volcals at times but not in a bad way with sort of a moody goth vibe, think the cure and the smiths meets H.IM. blended with Pantera meets killswitch engage style metal. But the album ..
