Leprous are no strangers to experimentation, with a unique blend of operatic prog metal that's softened over the years but hasn't diminished in its infectious zany intensity. So while Pitfalls continues in the same direction as 2017's Malina but more so, it's as unquestionably Leprous as any of their other albums. This is the band at their most symphonic, most electronic and most vocal-centric. And it mostly works.
