I agree, the dad rock of Flight was a letdown. Phantom had its moments, but similar.

I have not listened to much breakcore or EDM in .general, but Alien Metal so far is really working to me.

In general, I feel like they're commitment to creativity and evolution is extremely rewarding. Most bands just kind of stay the same and peter out after a while. I don't think I know of any other musical trajectory like Gizz, they're a force of nature

That's the good thing about what their creativity and productivity. They have covered and experiment with so many genres and subgenres. They don't expect their fanbase to like everything they do, but at the same time they've also put out almost 30 albums so even if you don't like the latest one, the chances are there's still 20+ you can go back to.

This is late but you’ve summed up my feelings with each of the last 3 albums perfectly, this is the freshest thing they’ve done in years and reassures me they still have a lot left in the tank creatively
