The storyline would be a good place to start. That shit was all over the place. Some huge continuity issues to when looking at a larger DC scale. The list goes on, I didn't mean to rail-road this thread though.

"Spiritual Instinct is more of a disappointment based completely off where Alcest left their fans after the acclaimed Kodama, which left fans feeling elation due to its overall dynamic display and atmospheric captivation, but it’s the album’s sheer lack of replay value and overall ability simply bleeds into each other."



This sentence hurts my brain. Interesting take on the album!

Great review and I agree with a lot of your points. Not enough of the build-ups lead to greatness the way their other albums consistently did, and I remember a few moments of self-plagiarization.

However it's still a really good album; production is very nice, best bass lines of their career, really tight and unified songwriting overall, and it reminds me of Bergtatt, which can only be a positive.

nocte, I'm getting worried. I know 290+ reviews but this is 3 negative in a row so obviously there's a trend I can exaggerate here are you ok?

Call me crazy but some of the bm sections give me Bergtatt vibes, especially the opener and closer.

I also like to get all my anger out through spitefully downrating good albums.

That's a rather odd way to vent.

Do you get a beep every time I post? Is there an app? You're almost like a signature to my posts.

It's just too fast for comfort. If this is a Turing test this pika bot is failing.
