Although Mechanisms of Destruction is by far Konradt's best product yet, there is still some room for growth. While the sound quality is at an all-time high, not every track seems to have been given the same attention. At the risk of sounding contradictory to the previous paragraph, the listening experience is unfortunately mildly dampened by the roller coastery level of production quality (though listening to an individual track may not have the same negative effect). Additionally, the clean vocals bring the album down quite a bit. On paper, including clean vocals is a good idea (it's a core tenet of melodic metalcore, after all), but Konradt would really benefit from having someone else contribute them going forward. Attention to these issues would certainly result in a thoroughly solid metalcore album. But even as of now, I've gotten to the point where I more expect a Relentless Pursuit album to have a lot worth talking about and listening to. I truly believe that Matthew Konradt is on the precipice of something really good.
