So excited to listen to this

Album Rating: 3.0

Pamphlets is great but the latter half is much weaker and kind of just peters out. Narrator might be my favourite

Album Rating: 4.0

They really don't pull out any new tricks.

I don't get Squid, and like many I found out through their somehow association with Black Midi and Black Country, New Road and I love them. But Squid is too bland, kinda not exciting and un-imaginitive.

Haven’t been able to listen to anything else the past two days, this album RIPS

Album Rating: 4.0

This is gonna need a couple more spins before giving it a rating, but I should say that while this is nothing revolutionary in terms of sound, the song structures are pretty refreshing, like listening to Black Midi, I guess (forget black country new road it's cringe as fuck).



But even bigger WOW was that this album makes me genuinely terrified, happy, sad, excited and introspective. It is quintessentially a TRIP. You think a Death Metal band is terrifying? That's childish LARPing at best.



The vocals, which is more like spoken-word than singing most of the time, is really the hardest to get used to. It sounds like a deranged person questioning his own lines, which is pretty interesting but just not melodically too pleasing to me.

Album Rating: 4.0

Boy Racers is legitimately spine tingling stuff



My top 3 are definitely Boy Racers, Pamphlets, and Narrator in that order

Album Rating: 3.5

Pamphlets is by some margin the best

Album Rating: 3.5

That was the biggest standout for me on first go.

Verbatim the exact take I’d expect from someone with a Northlane Av

Album Rating: 4.0

Pamphlets might be the most cohesive track here, but it's well within their previously established sound. Narrator at least attempts to push in new directions.

Album Rating: 3.5

Does a band need to push in new directions on their debut LP though?
