Fascination is good and has some genuinely interesting moments. But it's just a little too ho-hum. It often lacks energy and has almost no abrasive elements. I'm hoping TBM finds more of its energy in future releases. And not to be a whiner, but could we please have albums with more than nine songs on them?

Damn, I had to switch the rating to 4. It is still not my favorite TBM album, but man. There is not one album I listened more to in 2022. Really difficult to explain. Even though the songs are very simple and easy to digest, I don´t get tired of listening to them.

I totally agree. They could at least add some heaviness again, even though that would be the most obvious change and not even new. The last 4 albums were really veeery similar. Still love ´em though.

Hard to rank these guys’ albums because 90% of them all sound identical

Funny enough Violet has always been one of my least favorites. I think the murky atmosphere was kinda sloggy in some places and some pop hooks weren’t as well developed as the two albums that followed. Still a solid 3.5 regardless

Hope they put a little bit of pep in their step; their last few albums have been snoozers.

Nah TBM always kept it real, educate yourself. Surely quality was really high there from debut till Pins and Needles but they never had a miss. Can't wait for their new album.

I can't wait for the next album, but I also agree that the last few albums have been a little lethargic with a lot of similar tempos.

Diamonds is pretty sweet. Love the unique otherworldly feel of their music.

I like that the new album starts with a heavy song. That's different. I hope they have more of those elements intertwined in the album. The last album only had one heavy moment. It can really make their sound more dynamic when they bring that in more.

Usually they go for a real catchy opener, so having it start out this heavy is a real change indeed

Also, red and green colors on the album art, is this real life

New song dropped - All of You. Guitar tone is old school TBM.



The TBM formula is tried and true, I hope they keep putting out stuff forever
