Написание и запись
[ редактировать ]Фронтмен Дастин Бейтс описывает процесс создания альбома:
I start with sonic goals. This time I had a greater understanding of what instrumentation and even arrangements and genres, to an extent, would be amalgamated into these songs… and then chord structures. Once there’s a great chord structure then I always scat melodies. Then once I have the melody I spend an exorbitant amount of time coming up with lyrics that fit the theme that I want, over that melody. I think it is the way I’ve always written, then after that a readdressing of the musical soundscape and flushing out of the atmosphere of it as well.[5]
Work on the album started as early as June 2015.[6] Bates estimates that it took collectively 9 months to create the album, with small interspersed breaks for touring in support of the band's prior album, Transmissions.[5]
Composition and sound
[edit]Bates described the album's sound in comparison to their prior album, Transmissions:
Trying to push the sonic boundaries or even the boundaries that were set by Transmissions. Whereas it was centred in the hard rock lane before, now it goes more metal at times, and the guitar work borrows from djent stylings, and it gets more ambient at times, using electronics at a more deeply integrated level. Whereas the strings were more cinematic, there was more of a quartet before, on this record it’s more of an orchestration I would say. Hopefully increasing in breadth and depth and making it more difficult to tie it to a specific genre.[5]
Vessels has been described as hard rock,[7][8][9][10][11] electronic rock,[9] and progressive rock,[12] by professional critics. Bates also stated he implemented some elements of EDM into the music.[13]
Reception

The album was strongly praised by Loudwire, stating that "Vessels works on multiple levels. If you're looking for engaging singular tracks to fill your playlist, this album has several songs that could keep the band on radio for a long run. But if you're looking for a deeper connection and a full listening experience, Vessels truly takes the listener on a journey both musically and thematically, utilising synths, drums, guitars and Bates' at times dreamlike, at other times aggressive vocal approach."[17] The lead single from the album "Monster" also received particular praise for its blend of hard rock with electronic elements, and was featured in many decade end rock songs lists.[18]
