Man, this is definitely an AOTY contender. I loved the Copper Wasp EP and was thinking to myself "man, I wish there was a full length album of this".



Someone is looking out for me.

This desperately needs vocals for me. It's like being blue balled for an hour. Something needs to break up the tension I can't fucking handle it.

Also do these "songs" go anywhere at all? It's like moving from one sequence of music to another every minute or so with no cohesive theme binding anything together. I struggle to find any recurring motif, chord progression, rhythm, or basically anything within the course of the song. Shit happens, then just never happens again or seems to mean anything at all.



2 because they are talented and the music is more or less inoffensive.

@trophycase



I'm assuming you never listened to "No Moon"

Nah I made it all the way through but couldn't tell one song from the other. Re-listening to No Moon I enjoyed a good chunk of that one, especially the first half. I'll probably give this another listen through tomorrow since I seem to be the one missing something here. The guitar tones are just so bland though.

Just the three opening song have a defined structure and themes you see built on for the whole song. See 'Trading Shadows' for example, heck it has a verse-chorus structure, practically.

"Phoenix" too. From the top of my head, literally every song has a clear structure to it. Listen to Vice Wave and Lira and it's obvious not every song is the same.

Sounds like you need to give this another listen my man. You very well might still hate it, but I can't see where you're coming from

One of the constant themes of the album is the feeling of dreaming. But it's subjective whether or not the band accomplished that.

Also worth mentioning that the end of the album leads immediately into the first track of their previous album.

And then the last track on their previous album leads almost directly into the first track on their first album haha. The Night Verses lore runs deep fellas

This quietly grew on me from one listen to the next until it reached a level where I thought it wouldn't 'improve' any further. It's consistently enjoyable & never resorts to over-the-top showmanship, despite the technical nature of it as a whole the song-writing always shines through. The drumming is beastly.



I'm 'keeping it warm' ready for a re-spin before the year is out.

That's kind of the reason why I like this so much. It's pretty different. Is this weird? Am I weird?!

Loving this, reminds me of cloudkicker with more guitar effects akin to Billy Howerdel.

this gives me endtroducing vibes with the samples and the fact that it's an instrumental, which is a damn good sign
