i dont mind homogenous here tbh it works for me. eternal blue always felt more like a collection of songs which is why i could never totally get into it

“Just jammed the album in full for the first time, and while I enjoyed it enough, it just feels waaaaaay too homogeneous -- something that's not helped at all by the completely brickwalled production. Like sure, Eternal Blue was somewhat sanitized as well... but I never got the sense that they went too far in that direction. Also, despite that fact that both records are 43 minutes, TS' tracklist seems to drag its heels a lot more -- almost as if the poppier songs were written out of obligation rather than a genuine desire to make them. Which is quite a shame, as I really enjoy the softer songs on Eternal Blue
I still enjoyed the album as a whole, but it really does seem like a major step down from the debut. Idk, I'll still try and give it some time to grow on me”
Basically agree entirely. And honestly I feel it is the production that makes it so homogenous. Several songs are actually vastly different. This drags like a mf in parts for me.
I may be in the minority but much of the choruses here just don’t land for me. Not bad just not catchy/beautiful/ear-wormy like EB. This honestly needed more Perfect Souls

@Tayne - it didn’t hit the first go round but it has grown on me a bit.
But yeah considering what I was expecting and what we got, I’d say this is a disappointing album also

Haven’t jammed yet but I kinda figured this would be a disappointment, hard to follow up something a consistently great as eternal blue was.
Sophomore slump is real for some bands

It's not a bad album but I expected more. Last EP blows this out of the water (like a tsunami!!!! OOOooooooo)

I guess I don't understand anyone's preconceived notions about what this album was going to be, other than another EB or something better. I think we did get something slightly better, in the form of something different in a vacuum from they've given us before, even if it is just a slightly re-tweaked, or day I say, a logically comfortable shift in pacing. I'm not "disappointed" in this album at all.

I mostly just wanted/expected EB pt 2 but Fear EP raised the stakes. This felt like a misstep even though the music is similar

Album Rating: 4.0
that's what's funny to me is the music IS similar, I feel people resonate with Fear EP more because it feels shorter and more to the point of their sound. TS seems to simply be an expansion to Fear EP. Hell we even get Haven out of the deal, someone said it was a "damn, here" track which I agree with lol.

This isn’t even close to Fear in quality in any shape or form. Similar in sound sure, SB has a brand now. But the choruses are weaker, the experimentation doesn’t work or in some cases is downright bad, etc
After re-listening, while I do think tonally this sounds homogeneous, it’s also erratic af as far as my enjoyment. Like I ranked tracks and it’s like awesome, average, great, good, excellent, terrible. All over the place. I don’t get much enjoyment playing it start to finish at all

Yeah this rules. Also let’s keep it up with the track by track reviews I say.

When I heard Fata Morgana for the first time, I was saying to myself "They must've listened to a lot of Gojira lately"
Then I heard the vocals in Black Rainbow verses : yes.
