“When it comes down to it, Leveler is certainly the most interesting offering to date from August Burns Red, and for the most part, that’s a good thing. The album was a lot more dynamic than previous efforts, and introduced fans to several new elements of their music. It fell short in some respects though, my main gripe being the entirely out of place salsa part in “Internal Cannon” but for every moment like that, the band made up for it with stellar songs like “Pangea” or the well-executed experimentation of “Carpe Diem”. But of course, not every experiment is a success, without the occasional failure, they would never grow.”
