I personally love the spoken word pieces - but I'm a nerd. I think it takes modern interpretations of conflict and justifies them with honest 150 year old expressions of the human condition from people the band extols as examples of truth. And I like different shit on an album but maybe that is just me. You hit the nail on the head though - "this album promises dark lyrics paired with an unlimited supply of raw energy." That combination makes it my favorite album in a long time. Great. Great review. I personally love the spoken word pieces – but I'm a nerd.
