Yet here I am, revisiting this thing.

Again...

Album Rating: 3.0

This sort of thing isn't really my jam generally, but it was an enjoyable enough listen. Lost interest in a few places and the singer isn't actually very good, but there were some great passages and obviously they are technically gifted musicians and they display that well here. Doesn't really strike me as an album I'll be coming back to though.

Try Lore, like, now...

Album Rating: 3.0

It's on the list.

Album Rating: 3.5

Lore or reflections OR Dead roots stirring are all HIGH above this



This has great ideas in parts but just falls flat on the whole. Massive dissapointment.

Album Rating: 3.5

Agreed. We got Motorpsycho to compensate for it last year tho

Album Rating: 3.5

HELL YES

Album Rating: 3.5

FUCK YEAH

Album Rating: 3.5

Some passages on this still slap pretty hard tho

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

Yeah, Motorpsycho is a decent 4.5, such as Slift.

I 3.8 this cause I do love a lot of cuts here, but totally get your views.

Album Rating: 4.0

This is still pretty tasty.

Album Rating: 3.5

Aye some of its great

Album Rating: 5.0

Embers is so fucking great. What a roller coaster of set pieces and time changes. Btw, the Sput rating for this makes me want to puke.

Embers is a masterpiece and that rating is a travesty.

Album Rating: 3.5

Dunno if anything here qualifies as a masterpiece but the closest would be Halcyon.

Album Rating: 3.5

Halycon days is the closest to it

Album Rating: 4.5

Halcyon is a top tier Elder jam, YES.

Album Rating: 3.5

Nick DiSalvo just released a psych rock album under the name Delving this past Friday, for those interested: https://delving-music.bandcamp.com/album/hirschbrunnen

Thanks guy! Giving it a listen now on Spotify.

Album Rating: 4.0

I don’t mind the vocals, but they’re definitely not an improvement over previous releases and in some instances, quite a downgrade. If you’re going to strip the music back and focus on the vocal lines, you better have a strong vocalist. I still think Elder are capable of more great albums, but this feels like a transitionary one.
