Album Rating: 2.5

Listened to a few songs and it seems fun but the decision to make the mix sound like a local DJ redlining a set is baffling. At least I hope it's the mix otherwise my car speakers are toast lol

Album Rating: 2.5

I could see this growing with more listens, maybe. That super low, practically atonal wall of static guitar production isn't landing for me. Like during the really heavy parts I know they're supposed to be riffing a bit but it all comes across as bursts of shuffling, toneless static. But, their lighter tracks are quite nice.

This, plus it a few listens to acclimate to tbh. Not saying it's perfect but with that, it's actually pretty clear and intentional sounding
