I didn't like the last single when I jam it in the car, but I'm digging it now, listening to it on headphones with the birds and the bees. It must be an old man thing

Waters & Time felt the most "Rivers of Nihil" they've felt to me in a couple years, but I can understand why a significant number of people are so low on the band rn. It does seem like minimum a step down from Owls. I did enjoy that the opening synth felt slightly reminiscent of "Terrestria III: Wither", which I was really into.

I love when bands self-title their albums to say "we're changing to this distinctive style / sound now" and it's just a shittier version of what they had been doing previously lol

Self titled metal albums almost always suck, which is ironically hilarious

Yeah, there's a few exceptions but most of the time they're not great

Reminder that when this album was being released the marketing behind it was just them on their Facebook page saying silly things like "do the work".

I would have zero issues with that and their marketing if the album was actually good lol

Self titled that isn't your first album is also always a particularly shit move, not a big fan of them even as a debut but when you see it as like 3rd album or later it's always a bad sign/feels lazy.

A self-titled to double-down on losing the member that made your sound distinct, while gaining a member that just turns you into Black Crown Initiate II....it's a choice

Holy shit, true, I just got to The Last Ten Seconds of Life's sixth album today (big fan of In-Vivo/Ex-Vivo) and that's their self-titled.... With only the original guitarist left. Easily the worst TLTSOL so far

got the promo version of the new record and it is much better and cohesive than this for sure. more death metal, a little more streamlined but surely more focused. the BCI guy also brings some solid cleans and no half-assed experiments. Water and time is the only really mellow track so far.
