I dig Monarchy too but The Work is god awful.

Album Rating: 4.5

Monarchy has Sand Baptism and some other decent tracks but I find it a bit boring otherwise. But yeah it's still light years better than The Work

hollow is such a great track

Are they worthwhile to catch live? They are coming to town tomorrow and I am still somewhat undecided...

Album Rating: 3.0

When i saw them in 23 they where kinda flat for me. The sax backing track was horrendous and they shouldnt have bothered

Album Rating: 4.5

saw them on their recent european tour and they were pretty great, also bringing the sax live.

Album Rating: 3.0

I feel ripped off lmao. The set times for the show i was at where The Ocean, Rivers, NeO. So after The Ocean crushing it they did fall flat

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah they had a sax backing track when I saw them supporting Lorna Shore in Dec '23. The definitely brought less energy to the stage, but that was probably exacerbated by being sandwiched in between Ingested & the aforementioned Lorna, both bringing everything.

Thought I'd check this out again as I keep hearing it get compared to Ne Obliviscaris. Although a decent album with some great musicianship, I couldn't rate it as being better than anything Ne Obliviscaris has put out. It might translate better in a live setting, I'd be tempted to put down to a 3.5 compared to last time I heard it.

Album Rating: 4.5

I would say this album is on par with NeO's worst output (which is still pretty damn good)

AI overview on the meaning of the album:

-The album Where Owls Know My Name is part of the band’s conceptual four-season cycle: spring (first album), summer (second), autumn (this album), etc.



-The lyricist (bassist vocalist Adam Biggs) approaches the lyrics quite personally — the album reflects themes such as ageing, memory, isolation, mortality.



-In an interview they mention that the band likes to integrate “emptiness” in the sound (for instance a “strange delay setting with a flanger” on vocals in Hollow) to evoke a feeling of emptiness.



I didn't know shit was that deep

This album rocked my damn socks off, and was definitely AOTY. I don’t Willy nilly 5’s on albums I just like a lot. This one is an all timer though. But yeah, just haven’t been able to enjoy or care about much from them since, outside of a couple songs (The Void and House of Light mostly).
