Been listening to The Agonist's new album over and over...
It's not Alissa, it's not as lyrically brilliant and innovative, but they still managed to hold their sound together overall. I like the album enough. Favorite song is definitely Faceless Messenger.
On the other hand, I hated Arch Enemy's latest album with Alissa, it sounded exactly the same as everything since Doomsday Machine. They need to give her more authority over the lyrics and stop being so monotone.
