Album Rating: 4.0

I loved the vocals on TttS, for the same reason as Mort. Rou sounded so raw on that record, and he had a lot of fun vocal melodies

Album Rating: 4.0

i like the vocals on here more

Album Rating: 3.0

I think the vocals on ttts, some of the harsh ones, are really bad. But overall it was still really fun. This album has grown on me quite a bit. I'll be pissed off if when I see them they don't play the sights or an ode to lost jigsaw pieces considering how standout they are. I cannot stand rabble rousser or whatever its called.

This seems fun, very Everything Everything inapired. Like the line about the face like a sack of screwdrivers.

Will definitely come back to this.

Most of the vocals on TTTS were good except for the awkward inhale screams and whatever the hell that style at the beginning of Return to Energiser was but yeah Rou got way better on Common Dreads and onward

Album Rating: 3.0

Something about British guys who sing in their accents is so charming

Album Rating: 3.0

Yup that is the worst offender. The one at the opening of sssweat but used throughout the album...

Album Rating: 4.0

Some of his inhales sounded good, but they were very hit and miss

Album Rating: 4.0

hes a much better screamer these days, just doesnt do it as much which is fair enough

Album Rating: 4.0

Yea he's a lot better now from what I've seen in live videos, plus Hoodwinker was sick

they were so good live on the TTTS anniversary tour

Album Rating: 3.0

After another listen I'm bumping my rating a little. I still don't like it as much as the Mindsweep but it's solid for what it is

Album Rating: 4.0

fuck this grows so hard on me

Album Rating: 4.1

vocals on Closing from TTTS are some of the worst I have ever heard, nostalgia or no nostalgia that shit was trash. album has not aged well for me although Adieu, Winner, Today Won't Go Down and Mothership will always be classic jams



I mourn the lack of Chris vocals on here for sure but with the material being so personal to Rou I understand him stepping back... and Rou's range has grown fuckin superbly

Album Rating: 4.0

the missing someone line in jigsaw pieces straddles the line between genius and retarded but i lean more on the former

Just finished my first listen from front to back.
Yes, "An Ode to lost Jigsaw Pieces" is huge (easily the best track on the album), even though I think that, when the song hits it's (way too short) climax (5:23), it feels like the vulcano (that this band usually is) just burped a little instead of really breaking out. And this feeling I had with most of the songs on this.

It's almost torturing when they start to tease you with parts like this little breakdown sequence in the end of "Shinrin-Yoku" and then stop after 8 seconds, instead of jerking it to its full size and explode in your fucking face.

Plus, "The Spark" & "The Embers" are basically just some pretty lazy intro and outro, that,
imo, don't deserve an isolated spot in the tracklisting. So this leaves us with only 9 real tracks
that hopefully will grow on mi...

lol



ye the album lengh is probably my biggest gripe with this album. Otherwise every full fledged song on here is at least decent to great.



The biggest problem for me with this band were always the harsh vocals. Dince they are almost absent here i can enjoy this far better. Also so songwriting on here seems to be cleaner and overall better compared to the previous material ive heard.
