This album is really good when they are playing actual music. I mean the 15 min drone is not necessary. They could extended the first track, especially the end of it as it is one of their better moments musically.

Yeah, it could have been a lot better.

It's still great on its own and when you don't compare it to the earlier albums, but I can see it being extremely disappointing to someone who was expecting another LYSF or FAInf.

Odd because I think this is their best since Slow Riot :/

Really? I respect that, but I don't see how anyone could prefer this to the albums between Slow Riot and ADBA. Is it just where this album is shorter?

I'm personally not intrested in Skinny Fists, Yanqui or ADBA (obviously Slow Riot is stunning and slaps this). It's not that this album is shorter, it's the fact it's far more consice so it knows where it's going and I really like the sound and structure they're going for here. Skinny Fist has no on-going theme, too long and too reliant on the climaxes and don't build up enough tension compared to Slow Riot. Yanqui to me is the same but worse and ADBA I really dislike. The drones are such a bore compared to the drones on here, just meanders and bores me shitless.

I think Skinny Fists is their best but it's followed by Slow Riot and F#A#

Overrated as hell !! 2 new songs + 2 atmospherics drones that they put just to fill the space because they don't really have for a complete full length album !! their 2012 allulujah don't bend was an amazing album that showcase their unique style! but this album is very very similar to their previous one and it's sound like a crescendos formulas that is full of post rock cliché boring as hell!!

Really like the album and the heaviness of the first track, but I'm lacking some more... well... innovation, I guess. Prefered ADBA
