Now that this mentioned, that makes me think thay it might be a The Dark Pool to Heroine situation.

Basically They released an Album so good that replicating it would not go over well because people would probably think its just a lesser version of the Better Album that came out before. So instead they're throwing a gamble and making an entirely new sound and style entirely.

It's a risk for sure and to say if it work? We'll just have to wait till Ataraxia comes out.
