Overall, Helix should satisfy long time fans and has a few tracks definitely worth checking out, but it may leave many metalcore fans wanting more out of a full album. It definitely has merit and some unique spots worth hearing, but while listening you can’t help but shake the feeling of wishing it was just a bit more enjoyable.
