I mean having an opinion is fine I just feel you're being overly dismissive of the album's strengths. And I agree that LYSF is the stronger album overall.

yeah, antennas is the weakest by a fair margin. The other three tracks are all almost equally strong.

Antennas to Heaven is bleaker



I can see people liking the atmosphere on this better and that's probably why some people find LYSF bloated because they aren't fully engaged by the atmosphere. Personally I find it way more fulfilling.



I can dig the whole apocalyptic theme I just find the first two tracks rather bland musically

Really? LYSF has moments of levity, at least. Storm is positively uplifting at points. I do really appreciate the contrast on LYSF, I think it's something this album doesn't really have. I just don't really hold that against it.

I meant Antennas the track is bleaker, Storm is definitely uplifting/jubilant haha



the main point here is that LYSF is my #1 album ever and this album is cool but not on the same level for me at all and I have trouble imagining people with the opposite opinion heh

Oh, haha, sorry, that makes a lot more sense.



That's cool man, I feel ya. :-] I've got some irrational biases of my own (don't talk to me about AnCo if you want to retain your sanity).

I dunno... I dig this album a lot, Allelujah's pretty good



But I found Slow Riot mediocre and can't get into LYSF at all



I can't see its appeal, just sounds like bloated instrumentals with no sense of purpose, at least this has sparse beauty and atmosphere

Slow riot is the only post rock I'd consider giving a 5/5 to as of right now so ouch.
