In among the plethora of bombastic larger than life I-struggle-to-define-their-actual-genres post-hardcore alt-rock (many also committing metalcore on their work) O'Brother is not a bad example, but certainly a remarkable one neither. Occasional powerful choruses or melodies grab and engage tremendously, but the substance is lacking. That is especially a detriment, given the forgettable writing and bland composition on many of the songs here. It's an album neither here nor there, tries to be moving by virtue of its sound and mature by efforts of its composition and mostly reaches both goals half-way.

I think O'bro are at their best when they're slow and brooding, but that approach NEEDS some longer/more structurally diverse songs, which this record doesn't provide

I like this one. As Johnny said in his review, it's an alternative record with post-rock traces. It makes for the slowest O'Brother album, and while this a purely artistic characteristic, I would have like some more faster cuts. Nevertheless, the band reinvents reitselfs, and that's great to see. Will jam "Lo" now.

Post-rock and I have a very shaky relationship. Most post-rock bands never stick the landing for me because of how boring everything is. I get it the instrumentals take a backside to the very powerful instrumentals, but like I can?t even concentrate on the lyrics when the instrumentals bore me to tears (which is saying a lot because I like a good amount of ambient music). I will say this album does bring a lot more to the table then other bands like them do because of their incorporation of post-hardcore, but like the bands, previous releases had more presence to them. This record is just one-note song after another. I don?t know I don?t mind it and I would come back to it for a peaceful album, but god some of these tracks have me falling asleep.

A new take on a sound that doesn?t feel like a departure from their roots. This thing is haunting and gorgeous. Tanner?s vocals sound the best that they ever have.
