"Good review but I literally have no clue where you got the idea TLR had bad production. It has superb production - the drum sound, the thick guitars, the vocal channeling, etc. Mantra had poorer production as it sounded drab and far less punchy. Maybe this is is subjective but it always struck me (and a few others) as obvious Mantra's production was a let-down after TLR - this is reflective of the songwriting quality of both as well."



Lets agree to disagree then, because i feel exactly the opposite



And thanks for the kind words guys i really appreciate it

Really good work, Ins. I've liked this band quite a bit before so I will probably love this based on the review.

Sweet review man, very nice job, you know this band well. Consistent is definitely the word too, they've had some awesome songs/parts of songs before, but their albums as a whole were always tough to listen to front to back.



One spin of this and I can tell this is a step up as far as song writing and album progression goes. Good stuff.

I think they're awesome, rather unique, but I can see how they could be off putting.

3 spins and I'm ready to 4.5 this. It's really fucking good. Seems to get better from one track to the next as the album progresses too.

This album surprised me a lot. Glad they've finally done away with that weird Native American obsession...
