I still don’t understand how this can be better than Effloresce. Bizarrely that one sounds more refined despite being their debut. This is perhaps more daring/experimental and therefore gives off the impression of a talented but inexperienced band, at times.

It’s fantastic, just trying to understand why this is often heralded as their peak. I prefer the more consistent flow and atmosphere of Effloresce, plus this has Only Twin which is a low point.



P.S. Trail of Fire is 🔥

Unrelated point but there’s a part a couple of mins from the end of Sleeping Dogs that sounds like it was taken straight from Infinity Land era Biffy Clyro and I can’t un-hear it. Admittedly my memory may be off as it’s been a while.

Only Twin is perfect and would maybe be the best song here if Trail of Fire didn't exist

I could be misremembering, but I'm pretty sure one of the oceansize members has played for a biffy clyro tour.

Mike Vennart is (I think still) a permanent member of their touring lineup so yeah. Simon Neil featured on their last album, but it was kinda whatever

That's interesting if true though. Song sounds like a Meshuggah rip off so far

Lol yeah, it changes later.

I used to listen to Biffy a lot back in the day and didn’t even know that about Vennart. Interesting.

I concur on Only Twin being the weakest track. After that you gwt Old Friend of the Christies, now that's some sick stuff

while we're making comparisons, the riff at 5:25 in Sleeping Dogs sounds like a poor man's 43% Burnt
