Album Rating: 3.5

Gig Life and Getting Sodas are definitely in my top 10

Getting sodas is still goated but there’s probably some nostalgia at play too. But this album is very good, probably a 4 for me. I almost wish they’d gone all in on the metalcore sound but it’s still way heavier than I’d ever thought they’d be.

Album Rating: 4.0

Hell yeah to them going all in on that metalcore sound… maybe next time around. This shit is great. It’s unreal that this is the same band that made Harmlessness

Album Rating: 4.0

Not that they were bad before, this is just a wild stylistic shift

Album Rating: 4.5

As someone who first encountered them at Illusory Walls, this feels like a natural progression. I can understand how it might be jarring for older fans though.

Tho I do wish they retained a tiny bit more of the jangle than they did.

Album Rating: 4.5

In tandem with the new Bruit and Maruja albums, this just feels so... alive and reactionary to the times. This feels like a band responding in real time to the violence and apocalyptic global political climate. Definitely a lightning in a bottle sort of moment.
