Marrow grew on me a lot over time and is definitely only a minor step down from Ashes

Hell, I think I'm even starting to dig To Drown. The sense of dread in that track is crushing. It used to be the fatal flaw of Marrow for me but now I kinda see its purpose

Scream is the only user I know of who considers this one of their best, he even wrote a review justifying it.

I enjoy most of this, it's just underwhelming overall. I wonder how many of those reviewers have heard any of their previous albums lol

Yeah not even close to their best. First 3 albums are all classics and Marrow rules too. This is good, but yeah it can't compare to the others in any way.

i don't trust metal publications and blogs AT ALL. i don't think they have much integrity or actual taste. i feel that way about most music publications in general, but from what i've seen, metal criticism is the most lacking
