'horribly bland' seems like hyperbole, but its definitely a grower and the concept/lyrics need to be analyzed for full appreciation.

replace bland with "simplistic" and see how that sits with you



I could get beyond it with time but musicianship is not one of the strong points here for me.

Like, you are bored by parts, cool, can understand that. But these guys are talented as fuck lol. I mean look at that live video on the last page. Musicianship is there.

This does actually sound a bit like Coldplay, esp the second half of Empiricist lol

"to be fair my rating for this is like 85% lyrics" Can't imagine ever rating something based that much on lyrics

Lyrics can definitely weigh heavily on my enjoyment of music as well. I'm sure that's exaggeration for effect by project.



I did watch that video and I'm not sure it had the intended effect. There were a couple interesting flourishes but eight people slowly rocking back and forth on two chords for six minutes does not impress me from a technical standpoint.



That's not to say it doesn't come together in a pleasant way.

technicality =/= musicianship. but if youre looking for technical stuff youre not gonna have fun here. but that is so besides the point of the album/this band/post-folk in general so...

because i don't like it when people need to call something 'indie/folk band with progressive/post rock and ambient tendencies' in order to 4.5 something

"Can't imagine ever rating something based that much on lyrics"



my internal math is weird, I think I said in an earlier comment this album is a 3.5 until you look at the lyrics and then it's a 4.5



so maybe not 85% but eh
