Thinking of bumping this to a 4.5



Opening track rules SO much, as does the majority of this

Never heard of the band or album, I can check it out and let you know if you're right. Who do they sound like?

Sounds absolutely great. Listened to the link and a few other songs by them...might have to check 'em out in more detail when I'm done obsessing over the new Yellowcard and the new Swans

Really liked it. Only song I dislike here is Maybe That Was It- it's entirely messy and then for two seconds on the chorus it gives us a glimpse of its potential.

This will probably be in my top 10, maybe even top 5. But between Swans, YC, Regina, and the upcoming Deftones, I don't see it being higher than that.

Gotta agree with you on that one but I can't believe you'd prefer this over Foundry

Foundry and this are close



This is more experimental and Foundry is a more enjoyable listen

I think I underrate Foundry slightly too, because it isn't as good as Grandfather

Nah

a 4 suits it well considering that it's essentially more of the same

which isn't that much of a problem since the original blueprint was a damn masterpiece though

yeah but the original was a 5



if it was more of the same foundry would be a 5 too

Well that's where I have to disagree

I rated it a 4 because I dislike bands copying themselves over and over again

which is also the main reason why I feel resentment for bands like The Gaslight Anthem

Finally got 'round to checking this. Slightly underwhelmed tbh. It's a nice listen, but it doesn't grab me one bit.

mmm. it started with 'about to die' and reached all the rest, although i'm still not sure about 'see what she seeing'
