Quote:
Vera reveals that the original cover sketches were created with AI. However, he assures that DDKing created the definitive artwork digitally “until we were happy.”

Who's gonna tell Vera that means he just used the "refine image" tool several times

Cover aside, the music here is fine, Close To The Bone is pretty good, Buckeye is pretty bad. Everything else is standard Armored Saint fare.

This isn't a bad listen by any means I just find it lacks energy and there's just nothing really stand-out or memorable about it for me Not one of their best imo.

Not bad album, it has Armored Saint song writing, John Bush vocals, but not a single song what is wow hits the 10, IMO weakest offer after come back era.
