Not so sure about cloaked as a song overall, but that bit towards the end where everything gets stripped back a bit, Eva starts signing softly again and there's a single synth note pinging off always catches my ear and brings me back into the album if it has become background noise whilst doing something else.

"Well, it's not that it doesn't transition well, it doesn't really transition at all lol, so I can totally see why that turns some people off but I like it."



I guess that's why it really throws me off because for the most part Rolo likes letting songs blend into the next. Grievances had a ton of that, especially the last two tracks which are fucking seamless.

Yeah I gotta say Stumbling is seriously disappointing, the keys sound absolutely stunning on this and then they give the keys a showcase for the interlude and make the melody that simple? Wack, bad choice

Wish I liked Almost Always more but it doesn't really do much for me. Not that its bad tho. The bottom 3 are still nice but everything before them are sooooo much more awesome. And as far as full-twinkly Rolo goes, Aftermath is peak so thats the bar I hold for their other twinkly songs too.

Stumbling would have been way better with Eva singing thorough the whole thing. Second half of is fine, not offensive or anything, but seems kind of superfluous.



And really, it amounts to a nitpick.



Labyrinthine is also not bad at all but kinda of like Stumbling, seems almost unnecessary in the whole context of the album. Again, reaching. The worst parts of this are still pretty enjoyable.

this whole thing sounds as perfect as time will die...

even the extended intro into drip sounds perfect within the context of the album. poor choice for a single but i dont think a lot of tracks here wouldve been good choices for a single.

I'm playing coy with this 4.5 but I'm really a slut for this album, and I feel like I'll probably have it 5'd later in the future.
