The Good:
I loved The Phase, and when I heard about Insane Prototype, I downloaded "Patches" as fast as I could. You can hear the similarities between the two albums, and its great. "Patches" is strong and unforgiving. The guitar riffs, the drums, everything just blasts, and f***ing rocks. I would say it's "raw," but there is refinement to it as well. Its not just power chords and drum bashing. The piano on the Inter- and Outer-lude is a great touch to the tracks, and adds a unique flavor.
The Bad:
"Patches" is ten minutes. I'm looking forward to more.
The Ugly:
While the entire album is a powerhouse, the vocals are the only thing underpowered. I had to mess with the graphic equalizer to hear the vocals, and doing that ruined the tracks; the guitars and drums don't take kindly to being nerfed. I recommend bringing the vocals to the front of the next album, so they aren't overpowered. I am not, however, saying the vocals are bad: its your style and I more than respect it. I can hear the vocals, I can't understand them.
