wouldn't at all say it's shitty, it's definitely different and less aggressive than their previous records but it's exactly what it needs to be. Gives off a much more mysterious vibe



last 3 songs are a hard 5/5

Album Rating: 4.5

i just wish i had access to like a vinyl rip that undoes the what sounds like digital clipping i hear all over on this. war all the time/full collapse sound more natural to me idk.

it feels like this is mastered super loud despite being less aggressive. "stay true" still best song here tho

Album Rating: 4.5

Sorry, WAR ALL THE TIME sounds more natural to you for clipping reasons?

Lategame Thursday definitely suffers from the loudness war (esp Common Existence), but that has to be one of the most off-base prod takes I've seen this year

Album Rating: 4.5

Whatever the hell it is, the drums don't sound nearly as good here as they do on their older ones.

WATT definitely clips harder than this tbqh

I'm picky with drum production i guess

Album Rating: 4.5

clipping aside, WATT (which is still a great album and my second fav Thursday) has some of the worst drum production I've heard in my life. Proper hitting plastic bags with disposable cutlery sounds right there

Album Rating: 5.0

Yeah WATT is barely a 3.5 for me

In Silence/Appeared And Was Gone top 25 Thursday song

Album Rating: 4.5

I have a nostalgic connection to WATT and it’s probably my second fav Thursday but it’s also one of their least best sounding records. It feels like 128kbps even at 320.

Album Rating: 4.5

I guess? Idk something just sounds wrong with the snare on this album to me.

Top 25 album ever

Album Rating: 4.5

Rejamming this for the first time in years, and while most of it holds up a treat I really feel Open Quotes should have been a b-side

Half for quality reasons (weak chorus melody, derivative verse guitars) but mainly because there's no room for it in the sequencing. Darker Forest into Sparks would be a fantastic transition, and the flow from there is already perfect - feels like a really abrupt and unneeded shot of energy as is. Millimeter is probably a weaker song (ed. actually no it ain't lol! TIL), but I can at least accept that as a transition into the final two

Album Rating: 5.0

oh yeah definitely the worst song here

Album Rating: 5.0

Wait Johnny am I misreading your comment or are you listening to an alternate tracklist where A Darker Forest isn’t already followed by Sparks? You say it “would be” a fantastic transition.

Album Rating: 4.5

Sorry yes my bad *Sparks into *Past and Future Ruins would be a fantastic transition - wrote that comment several songs later and had the wrong end of Sparks in mind lmao

Don't like it following Sparks at all - feels like an unneeded victory lap for that track's rousing elements. Take that shit back into the darkness!

ahhh yes yes, I can get on board with that.
