Honestly, this sounds really good. It?s not breaking any new ground on the shoegaze sound that they are playing off of (or the noise pop sound either). But it sounds really damn good. The biggest problem with this record is why in gods name is it an hour long. They could have trimmed not only the songs that aren?t as impactful as the others but trimmed all the songs in general because they run on for much longer then they should. It kind of sounds like they wanted a post-rock sort of structure, but why not do a post-rock album at that rate. In conclusion, individually and broken-up this is a quality shoegaze record, but together this record is a monster to get through. Also, the mixing of the guitar work is sometimes so washed out that you cannot tell the notes apart anymore so that could have been fixed.
