4.0 excellentJuriHan | October 10th 23

Chilling and dark drone album with vocals that come in when they can be most well utilized in a heart twisting-way or to add to the darkness of the album. Drone isn't usually my cup of tea but this is super atmospheric and tight, first projects I've heard by either of these bands but I will definitely be returning if they can muster up something with the heaviness of this. Seems like a great sleep album to conjure up inspiring dreams, I'll try it soon.

3.5 greatMeridiu5 | February 8th 19

the last song and the bonus track are the best. they honestly should have thrown out all of the other songs, it'd bump this into mid-4 territory

2.5 averageTRMshadow | October 6th 10

I have the same problem with this album that I do with almost every other drone album. There is no substance to the album. If compared to the average album it takes WAY less writing and skill to make; and yet all the 1337 snobs gawk and ogle saying it's the most awesome-est music ever when it's not. The songs are most often grating and drag on forever, which I suppose is their appeal, but I don't get how that is "appealing" at all. Nonetheless, it's one of the better drone albums I've heard. 2.5/5
