"another dense and myopic work"
I don't really think myopic is the word you're looking for here.
Also, I'm all for concise reviews, but this just feels incomplete. You literally don't offer a single concrete example to support your overall viewpoint, or even name or refer to a single song on the record!
That being said, there's some great writing here. But I would encourage you to dig a little deeper than well-articulated but nonetheless vague generalizations.

The Joy of Motion was a fantastic and varied album, with fun rhythms and melody switches. TMOM and this one just feel too dense and obtuse to digest. Maybe that was the point. Oh well.

thing is people don’t give this enough time to digest when they had years for joy of motion
it’s fine to make critiques but no one should be in hurry especially when staff writers are broke as it is

Gestaltzerfall is the new Physical Education on this album. Best track on here.

Love a good hot take! As a fan of the group since S/T, I can absolutely see how this album is wildly different from previous forays. I love how straight up polarizing it's made listeners. Some absolutely get it, some just can't take how relentless it is. For me it just scratches a good itch. Not a sonic soundscape, but brutal, and I wanted that from these guys for a while.

i agree that there's nothing as catchy as 'physical education.' i think its more cohesive and succinct than their two most recent albums.

feel like with the vast majority of tracks on here after an initial spin if you just try and latch onto one or two core ideas in a track you get consistently rewarded with payoffs over its length. they spend a lot of time drilling ideas into your head through repetition and variation. band clearly makes an effort to create memorable and catchy moments that non-musicians could appreciate. most of the complexity seems to come from the rhythm patterns on a moment to moment basis as opposed to song structures, chord progressions, etc.

This is the correct take. However, I do feel this is still more mundane than prior efforts. Not much bringing me back in the way of melody or heavy really. I see TMOM get knocked around here a bunch but even that had memorable, albeit technical stuff going on for me. I enjoy pretty much everything they do but this didn't grab me.

Was thinking of reviewing this, but this review is perfect, so no longer any need. Have a pos.
