It reminds me "The Great Cull" here, in terms of the lyrical tempo. 

(But yes, it does have that 90s feel).  

I keep listening to it, though.

I don't like it, either, and I thoroughly enjoyed Absolute Dissent and
Hosannas.

 

I wrote this on Aleph Kali's FB posting of "Rapture," so I'll just re-paste
it here, as it's all I can think of to say here, too:

 

 

"It sounds a little too 'Pandemonium' 90s to me. Big Paul is still doing
metronome drumming in this, no heavy-on-the-toms tribal stuff that I thought
we were promised (hope other tracks have this). It really reminds me of 90s
industrial metal Pandemonium-era KJ, which is not a great thing, to me. The
LP cover art is also very Photoshop 2.0. Meh..... Hope the other tracks are
better."

Have to honestly say not too thrilled with "Rapture."  It sounds like it was
recorded in a racquetball court.
