I think that was the point perhaps? Idk.



My issue with 5-ing this is that I haven't actually heard it yet, I know that doesn't stop some people but I will remain within the law for now (also, it's probably not a 5, but we'll see).

As someone with about a hundred and fifty 5 ratings I thought this warranted a 5 but everyone has their system

As much as I like this, it probably won't join the 5.0 club. Sad, but true.

Glad to see the average is holding up, but this still needs more ratings.

Review's already outdated by the way. This isn't their final album apparently. Whoops, guess I gotta rewrite this 👏

It's impressively varied for an album that could easily feel shockingly one-dimensional, at least in a relative sense (it still has a homogeneous quality, but that's inevitable and not necessarily to its detriment). A few of the tracks progress in a way that's surprisingly engaging.

I remember liking Hypermagic more, but maybe that had more of a 'shock value' type impact to an impressionable young man, idk. Only heard it once in the last year/god-knows-actually-how-long.

i don't understand how someone can 1 this at all. the musicianship alone deserves some points.

There are 1s? - but honestly, maybe some people don't take that into consideration? I don't really, or more accurately I wouldn't award 'bonus points' on that basis.



Edit: ah right, that fella, yeah I wouldn't put any stock into their ratings at all.

@DirEnRefused Vid is great. Probably the best music video a song like that could have.

haven't really jammed much lightning bolt in years, tbh. My app for their stuff might change. I remember liking their last album but that's about it.

Keep in touch.

Video for Blow to the Head made me realize that it's probably a 5/5 but I'm too chicken to change my rating for it on RYM.
