It definitely sounds "new". As in, similar to the last few albums... deconstructed, synthy, very vocal, a little more pop/upbeat than the brutal/epic industrial sound from TDS/Fragile.

The Fragile is my favorite album, so I'm always hoping for the next epic double album... but like you said, this is more like Year Zero meets Pretty Hate Machine. Still decent, but it's just bookending the stuff I really like...
