(besides ATMH being as perfect as it gets)

I'd also like a moment to appreciate Broken Harbors, Pt. 3. There's this dark-psychedelic tone that comes in on that track that's like a refined Ballasted Orchestra track. It's really haunting and solidifies Broken Harbors as a master track for me.



IMO, can't go wrong with this album.

Broken Harbors Pt. 3 is really the perfect closer for disc 1

Judging by the comments I leave here I tend to pick SotL back up during June.

This and Refinement are just soothing, calming albums. Been stressed out a lot and putting these on just sooth.

To me this album goes to more and deeper spaces and vibes than Refinement.

Note, I prefer Refinement. But to me the track-list here is more diversified in sound.

That's what brings me back

Both are 5s imo, can’t really say which I prefer. This has more sentimental value for me though

Refinement has way more sentimental value to me which is why I'm having a hard time admitting this is as good or better but i really think it might be

I like Refinement more, but not by a wide margin. This is fantastic too.
