I'm a fan because of how this band connects to REAL human emotion. They're not too into just one emotion. And the best part is that they can relate to so many people. On top of that their lyrics are extremely catchy. For example "Pain" may sound like an extreme emo song ((just letting people know I'm not emo)) but in actuality it's just embracing being human, " Anger and agony are better than misery...I'd rather feel Pain than nothing at all..." Don't get me wrong I also love their old music as well, I just feel like this album was made to connect more to people, because the old one seemed to play more on raw human emotion however real it may be (still loved it though). Anyway bottom line, these guys know exactly what they're doing and should keep doing it, cause if their future music is anything like it is now, they're going to keep being my #1 favorite band.
