Well, after The Catalyst I was pretty much ready for anything with this record. Sidelining Chester is the one thing I'm a bit worried about, as he's such a &%*3!%" good singer. Not too bothered about him not screaming as much- if I want screaming I'll listen to Bring Me the Horizon.
And I also doubt that they've used Auto-Tune, it's easy to confuse that with other vocal effects.
I'm very happy that they've made the album one flowing whole, I love albums that do that.
