I ain't here to fight, if you like it you like it. I just can't enjoy it very much.

The more I talk about it the more compelled I am to bump it down honestly lol. This was a disappointment, but not even close to Ascariasis' comeback album. That was an incredible misfire on all fronts.

I feel like a 3.0 is a legit rating. I want to lower it but this honestly has SOME cool moments

Yeah, there is a decent amount of 3.0s and lower in the thread. It's natural: whenever a release garners hype it inevitably gains traction across the site, which brings in a crowd of people that end up not enjoying it as much and push back against the excitement.



Same goes for when an album gets hate early on, with users who liked it standing up. Just a tug of war; when a majority opinion seems overwhelming, dissenters feel a need to justify themselves. Which isn't wrong/bad, just a consequence.



I might have just rambled so I dunno if I made any sense

I get what you mean though, I really have the urge to just 1.0 the latest Architects record because of the 'undeserved' love it got

I think the best thing I can say to describe this album is "pinpoint accurate/sharp"



It seems full but it seems empty at the same time

You guys are making me want to jam this, it's always tempting when the album is so divisive.

@Marskid you made total sense, I only think is a bit wrong on the proportions sometimes it gets, but yeah a consequence nonetheless.



"It seems full but it seems empty at the same time"

Or maybe people are approaching this wrongly...expecting full bangers, but for me is just a really chilling experience with a great broad amount of influences, played super smoothly.

@tundra yeah that is where most of the issues of the production lie IMO

'Hot take: it'll be a 2.5.'



I'm working on the assumption this will be a 2.5/3 as that covers the majority of my ratings these days tbh.

What do you actually like (4.0+), in all honesty? Don't think I've seen you enjoy anything from this year.
