I bought this a while ago, and I would agree with what you guys said. Overall it wasn't as mindblowing as some earlier stuff, but really this is the type of album you put on a car ride with your friends when you just want to rock out. It does have some cool change-ups in a number of songs and the riffing has gotten a bit more complex and varied from the usual Clutch style.
It's got a very clear focus that it goes for though, which is pure rock (fury).
Pretty different from earlier releases, such as Robot Hive/Exodus(my favorite Clutch album), where they would have a number of uptempo tracks, but it would be intermixed with the more bluesy/stoner stuff or even just tracks that varied more than what's on here.
So yeah, it's a 4 from me. I liked it good bit, but it didn't catch my imagination like stuff before.
