I didn't like Guidance much so if this is supposedly worse, well damn. Hopefully I come out liking it.

"Arluck" is a beautiful heavy hitter but the rest will need to grow on me.

Good rev, but I respectfully disagree.

Album bangs.

also since there are so many of you here talking about post rock,
does no one on this site like saxon shore?

The art is a nice touch. A lot like YOB.

Didn't care much for the preview songs, but I think Guidance was the writing on the wall.

I have no problem at all with bands putting out similar albums, especially when they’re as consistently good as this. The drumming is fantastic.

Damn not only is this review wrong, it’s just shitty. You could talk about the music a little, ya know?

I’m liking this more than their previous release, still need to check their other albums

Everything they do hits me right. I don’t really disagree with your critique though.

I like this more than Guidance but both albums have been disappointing after having five back to back monsters, particularly Empros and Memorial

always found these guys vastly over-appreciated, don't get their sound at all, find it super run of the mill and bland



i'll still give this a spin, listened to a track and i dug the production and how everything sounded production wise so i'll still probably appreciate it on that level

@DarkNoctus: yeah the production on this definitely seems one of its big strengths.

This and Guidance just blend into one. I find it hard to feel the ebbs and flow of their newer music - now it's just guitar walls all the way down.

I find it intersting how easily scores get swayed by a prevailing review opinion in the early hours of an album release on here - I don't really think this is very much worse than Guidance even if it is disappointing but right when this review came out there were 2s - 3s as the main rating and it's only slowly recovering now

Yeah, I definitely think reviews can form the lens through which people judge an album.
