Blood Eagle is still boring. Reptile is still godly.

lol i cant imagine being so edgy as to claim that blood eagle is "boring"

you can say it's not good, that's fine, but the word boring does have a generally-agreed upon definition. do you also stand out in the snow with a t-shirt and say "it's not even cold"?

I'm saying it doesn't fit the definition of that word. Pick a different word that makes sense. Like come on listen to the first 5 seconds and tell me that fits any realistic definition of "boring"



I could barely stand the new Lightning Bolt record, but I would never be so dense as to call it boring.

If I'm bored while listening to a song, it's boring. That's how that works. The word isn't being incorrectly applied and no amount of butthurt on your end is going to change that lol.

That’s such a bizarre position that I don’t think you understand what boring means

bored is the best possible word I could use to describe how I feel about off time chugging after all these years

I think their "heavy" stuff is the least interesting aspect of their sound, which is why Blood Eagle does nothing for me. Spencer's harsh vox lose their appeal real quick when they take center stage, and that style of riffing really isn't my cup of tea unless it's accompanied by something more interesting. Despite being a long time fan of this band I have never really been on the DJUNZ bandwagon.

@itwas I guess that's fair

but they cranked the distortion up even more and made the guitars go "blelelel" between the chugs which makes it ok

being inconsistent is weirdly their thing, so that'll probably never happen unfortunately

"If the whole album was like reptile I would 4.5 it"

honestly they literally SHOULD have made a concept album about reptile, blows my mind that they DIDN'T go that route, it seems like such a no brainer

So IMO they should have made HAIL STAN an EP and made a concept album all about Reptile

The tracks of EP as follows:

Eagle

Garden

Smiles

Crush

Glow

Satellites

I think they are definitely at fault for releasing an album such as this with such an epic opener in Reptile to follow up with a multitude of "mediocre" songs by comparison. I do have this album rated a 4.5/5 because I am admittedly a sucker for any Periphery content, but I can't deny that the sequence in which they released these songs is slightly off the mark
