Yeah, real shame this wasn't all it could have been. It's way too short and anticlimactic.

"Yeah, real shame this wasn't all it could have been. It's way too short and anticlimatic.
That being said, still love a handful of these songs and jam them frequently."
More or less how I feel. I have been jamming it a lot more frequently that I initially thought I would be though. Gives me a good quick fix of one of my favourite metalcore bands.

Almost like they're following in counterparts' footsteps now with the "barely an LP" album length, given how counterparts cites major influence from them as a band.
Not sure if I'm as into it with them, but the good songs on here are real good. Maybe the rest just needs some growing.

I like all of these songs individually but the lack of variety is a real killer

It's just unreal to me how many people wrote this off bc it doesn't hold a candle to Malice or Controller. Those two albums are genre defining masterpieces, dunno why anybody thought they would reach those heights again.

No one wants them to reinvent the wheel. Shai Hulud has stuck with the same formula ever since That Within Blood Ill-Tempered but Reach Beyond the Sun had arguably some of their best songwriting.
Im not gonna pretend to like this more just because I don’t expect them to put out another modern classic. I just expect them to uphold their standard and to me they didn’t do that.

all things considered, it's still nice to see a new misery signals in 2020

I suppose you could use the argument that Shai Hulud's comeback album had some of their strongest songwriting. That being said, this album is in that same category too... but as a cohesive Mis Sigs record with a definitive climax and satisfactory ending, its disjointed and almost incomplete.
sucks bc with one more banger like five years this could have easily been a 4

Some of these songs are flatout fuckin boring. Like The Fall is deadass the most boring forgettable song I've heard these guys make.

The Fall is fairly one note but its still a solid track. Not among the better songs tho agreed.

I wouldn't put this album in that category at all

I feel Jay on that man. It grew on me a fair bit on repeat listens but it does feel just a bit incomplete, like it could have used a behemoth of a closer but it still rips for being as brief as it is.
|
| |
Behemoth or not, the last two tracks are arguably the best on here.
|
| |
This thing really isn’t that brief people
|
| |
It's close to brief.
Briefish.

The Fall is a solid track. Listen to the drums. Most rhythmically interesting song on the album and riffs hard at the beginning. I think it is a little monotonous in the chorus, but still has plenty of redeeming qualities.

32 minutes and 2 interlude esque tracks? Not even borderline brief. Just brief.
