The surprise full album and next in the Post Human series that proves Bring Me The Horizon can evolve in several directions and make it work. The delay was long but appears to have been worth it. The collaborations, singles, and deep cuts all feel like they belong on the album. Outside of short OST sequences, NeX GEn flows smoothly. Tracks like “YOUtopia”, “liMOusIne”, and “LosT” hit hard and bolster the variety and genre-bending shapes that Bring Me The Horizon has developed. This is described as an emo album but it also is reminiscent of 90’s alternative with remnants of The Smashing Pumpkins and Deftones. The riffs and hooks hit hard. Oli Sykes is in his groove at delivering loud and smooth choruses. Even if I don’t adore every moment, the encompassing project swells with creativity and replay value. This band promised more of an emo sounding record, and with some extra elements thrown in, Bring Me The Horizon delivered something unique. 8/10
