This is still flippin great, new guitarist has some big shoes to fill.

If she is a fire is any indication, and not a Richard Shaw leftover, we have nothing to worry about.

Album Rating: 4.5

Is that a new track? Hype!

"Ed Sheeran likes this, he actually could make death metal someday, not kidding"



Frost predicted the Cradle/Sheeran collab on page 15!!! It's going to drop this summer and profits will go to a good cause.



Also had to finally bump that rating, this is as good as Hammer/Crypto after all.

Album Rating: 4.5

Also also Discourse is super good. It's not mentioned enough here.

Album Rating: 3.0

i've accepted that this is one of my least favorite cradle records, which honestly makes me more curious where they'll go from here

Album Rating: 4.5

Interesting! How do Hammer and Crypto rank in the grand scheme of things?



And I'm very curious for the new one too, it apparently is almost finished, if their Facebook is to be believed.

Album Rating: 3.0

pretty highly; probably my next favorites after the dusk - midian run

Album Rating: 4.5

Do you know what about this one rubs you the wrong way? It's obviously different from the two that came before in certain aspects, but I wouldn't say they're worlds apart either.

she is a fire is rapidly becoming one of my favorite cradle jams

Album Rating: 4.0

Agree Discourse is super good.

my favorite things about cradle are dani's lyrics and all the melodramatic contrast in most of their music, and i feel those both reach near career lows on this one for whatever reason. it seems like it's quite a focused 'metal' record by their standards if anything

Album Rating: 4.5

It's really riff-oriented, I can see that yeah. Maybe that's what's keeping it back for you.



Loving it more and more over the last couple of weeks personally!

Album Rating: 5.0

I think Cryptoriana is probably the high point of this trilogy, even if I lack the capability of explaining why. Especially when Hammer has three of my favorite tracks they've ever done.



That said, I do think this is on the level of Hammer at least. It usually takes a while for me to put their albums in perspective.

Album Rating: 4.5

She Is A Fire is just so fucking good. Im not sure if it touches my heart emotionally like the other top Cradle but it is right beside the top just because of the guitar noodling.

Album Rating: 4.2

Yeah, great track. Demon Prince Regent is also nice

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah I super love those two new ones tooooo! Pity they're the last ones to feature Stuart, but hyped for a new studio record nonetheless!

Album Rating: 4.2

I hope it drops in the first half of 2024

Album Rating: 4.5

Same! Could do with more Cradle. Number 14 (!!!) is going to be a blast, we just know it will!

Album Rating: 3.5

i think the writing on this one feels a bit less tight than cryptoriana. lots of good moments but some tracks kinda lose steam or don't progress coherently. still good but i think it's not as good as that and hammer
