It lacks some wild, shredding out of context, the guitar in front is separated from everything in background most of the time, and overall, too much rock, and not enough hard.
Other than this, perfect, long, high-pitched guitar riffs.
-The March Of The Bat Queen: Hm. Damn me, this sounds similiar to the "March Of The Wicked Man"- no specific riffs, but in overall construction. Nice, arcade-y feel to it, although no deep feelings. Still, IMO the best one here. Good job on that, you should try doing some more tracks like this.
-Narwhal: Nice riffs there. Only the refrain is too dragged out, could be something more dynamic.
-GorrilOR!: Heh. Weird, but nothing more.
-Knuckles: Cool, slow one. Nah, too slow.
-White Flag: Boring, to be honest. Could use some more dynamic, too.
Overall- not bad, but you should try doing something less-rock and more-hard-rock. On the second hand, I know that metal-like riffs and mad solos aren't easy to pull of, but this would be more appealing, at least to me :D
Anyway, I'm sure this will appear more to some other people.

PS. Please note that I couldn't say anything about lyrics, because for me in most of songs they're almost inaudible unless I have written lyrics in front of my eyes while listening. God, my spoken english sucks.
The "return of the Madness" is also good, but this one is superior by higher sound quality and volume.
I don't know if it's good to call this metal... I hear very obvious influences of punk- guitars are helluva chaotic, and vocals are often shouted. It's all cool tho, I have nothing against punk.
Strange. That's what happens when I for the first time liisten to something other than your standard genres. To be honest, it's quite original, for an ambient.
Clear vocals (which are visibly more 'in front').
Smooth guitars, lack rapid fret-shredding (what tries to fake it, in last song's refrain, is just chaotic guitar-f**k), melodies are well-arranged and played. What has to come 'in front', comes out when it has to, etc.
Everything just lacks some spontaneous shreds here and there, but having this exalted mood, looong solos and all, it's really great!
It's loud, aggressive and doesn't lack POWER. Awesome vocals, solos, riffs, and I really can't point out any flaws. Kicks ass and deafens neighbors. DON'T DO THIS AT HOME!
PS. Cool band's name. Keep it down to earth!
...that is.
A dose of ROCK!
I just love the way the solos are mixed somewhere in background, it makes songs nontheless kicking, but more subtle in same time.
I only really liked "What are your feelings" and Intro. Other songs was trying to remake in-soul some other classics, but I don't know why most of the so-called classics are boring moanings. Labsence is not a bad song, but it's in French. Bleh.
Overall, you are just trying too hard.
PS.
I have to point out that records' quality is far better than on on previous albums! A step in good direction.
And I like this. Another great album.
Somewhat more original than previous ones, worth checking.
