Code Orange's latest album, "The Above," showcases the band's fearless approach to music, pushing boundaries and exploring new sounds while still retaining their raw hardcore essence. The album kicks off with "Never Far Apart," a track that seamlessly blends melodic and industrial metal elements with their classic hardcore style, featuring a massive breakdown that is quintessentially Code Orange.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Theatre of Cruelty" and "Take Shape" continue to surprise listeners with their dynamic range and experimental vocals. The collaboration with Billy Corgan on "Take Shape" adds a memorable chorus that resonates long after the song ends, solidifying it as one of the standout tracks on the album.

With each track, Code Orange blurs genre boundaries, from the crushing intro of "The Mask Of Sanity Slips" to the hardcore intensity of "A Drone Opting Out Of The Hive." Even slower tracks like "Mirror" offer a unique contrast within the album, showcasing the band's versatility and willingness to explore different musical territories.

Tracks like "I Fly," reminiscent of Korn's style, and the heavy-hitting "The Game" and "Grooming My Replacement" demonstrate Code Orange's ability to deliver intense, ear-shredding experiences that captivate listeners. However, as the album progresses, some tracks like "Snapshot" and "Circle Through" veer into electronic and grunge influences, showcasing the band's diverse range but not always hitting the mark.
