One of the best modern bands that are going strong today and in their prime, they will only thrive further from here and expand their critically acclaimed catalog

The vocal layering after P1 is atrocious [2]

I never liked the layering for some reason, but I can't tell why

I love this band, I can see why others hate them though. They're pretty much the epitome of a marmite band, love em or hate em.



P1 is their worst by far, way too over the top, you can tell the vocals were an afterthought. Not many songs have cohesion to them. All New Materials has possibly one of the most gorgeous openings ever but then after the chorus it does a sharp u turn and the verse just doesn't fit at all, then when the chorus comes back it sounds so out of left field. It's a mesh of different ideas rather than one stream of consciousness. The first album is full of it, it's like they went "I've got this cool 1 minute idea, let's just jam it into the middle of the song with no thought of how it links in with the rest of the song".



Compare that to Marigold or Catch Fire, way tighter songwriting cuz they're actual songs rather than random riff #1 goes to random riff #2.

This band is actually fun sometimes, but they just can't pull off emotions imo

Probably because the vocals were an afterthought. P1 and P2 are mostly bulb demos. Juggernaut and P3 are where the band actually started to collaborate.

P2 is the worst. most of the songs overstay their welcome, and its like a culmination of my problems with this album, except in every song
