Album Rating: 4.0

One thing I have noticed about this album is how much variety there is in what songs people find good

and what they find bad. I enjoy The Last Few generally because it has some of the best guitar work on

the album (and also uses baritone), and being a guitarist this appeals greatly to me, though I can see

why it would bore some people.



Float generally does nothing for me but I can see how some people would enjoy it.



Don't understand how people don't like Nachash though.. the song structure is hard to wrap your head

around at first but once you get it it's awesome.

Album Rating: 4.0

The Last Few is the worst actual song on the album imo, still good though.



And for the record I love Nachash.

The Last Few just drags on till the middle part, then around 2:40 it gets good. Float feels like an overly done interlude IMO.

Don't understand the hate on Nachash, seriously, 3:36 onwards is incredible, Every other song rocks hard tho.

Album Rating: 4.5

The Last Few is only let down by its chorus, which I think is a bit forced and frankly boring. For the record, there's some insane guitar work in there and it balances the album nicely.



As for Float, I love that track. It's incredibly dreamy and memorable, melody-wise

The best moment of Nachash is its final forty seconds or so

Album Rating: 3.5

Yea there's good guitar work. Not their best but still good.



Sky Machine is one of the best songs they've ever produced.

Yeah, there are some songs on here that stand up with anything they've made so far. Just a bit too
much filler and no massive 12+ min epic :/.

The lyrics to Sky Machine really speak to me

The reason the ending of Nachash really works isn't because of its musicality-- I could've easily predicted those specific chords. But it's that the song lacks any sort of uniform structure, and that moment-- while being a bit unoriginal-- is the most cohesive part of the song, and that cohesion is what made Sound Awake so great.

I suppose we all have differing views on what a cohesive song structure is, but for me Nachash flows

logicaly from each point to the next and is well anchored on both ends by the "something beautiful"

part. It's not typical, no, but there is some logic to it.

This whole album is incohesive. Nothing wrong with unusual song structures that actually go someplace, but this whole album is just a meandering fuckfest of rhythm-section wankery. The highlights that everyone else has already picked out are really just the bits that make sense

i was excited to pick up a physical copy of this in the states on 8/6.. but now i might wait till i find it cheap (shouldn't be a problem) at a used media shop

I don't really see how people are calling this directionless. It's a bit hard to absorb at first, because it moves around a lot before it settles, but the overall progression is logical and makes perfect sense once you're able to put it together.



The damn thing just has zero immediacy, which doesn't appeal to some people. I'm not one of those people, though; I love that I get more out of it every time I listen.



And Sky Machines might be the best song they've ever recorded. It's seriously incredible.
