3.0 goodTravelhead | August 1st 19

Guidance was better than this record. I can guess the structure of the songs within 1 minute of listening.

3.2 goodRaul Stanciu STAFF | July 27th 19

These guys are stuck on autopilot. It sounds good, they have tight formulas, but I feel like I'm listening to the same songs every 3 years lately

3.4 greatTrey STAFF | January 13th 23

I've never really bothered with Russian Circles before. I mean, I've definitely listened to their previous albums a few times, but I've never come back to them like I have this one. That means, the complaints about these guys being on autopilot or whatever don't really affect me because I don't really have anything to compare this to. What I do know is these guys make memorable post rock that really is more metal than rock and they definitely bring some black metal influence too. The thing is, despite Blood Year being entirely instrumental, it still manages to be memorable and entertaining, something most post rock does not do for me.

3.5 greatChino smoking it up! | September 5th 19

All consistent...the nicest acoustic guitars...This as some straight up beauty in it with some anguish in the mix...that closer smashes.

Bump

3.2 goodErwann S. STAFF | August 6th 19

Not bad, well-written and well produced, the blast beats and blackened feel do add a nice touch, but overall they did not wow me this time.

Bump

2.5 averageclockworkrat | August 2nd 19

Forgettable. It's not actively bad, but even as a fan since Enter I found myself tuning out almost straight away.
