Yeah, might bump this down again. It's too repetitive and weak sonically.

'weak sonically'



I think you chaps are approaching this from a weird angle

It's still got some lush ambiance but is too bloated for its own good



If he trimmed the fat and left it at about 40-45 mins, he'd easily have a top 3 album for this year

it's atmosphere and lyrics in synthesis - that's the deal for the most part



you could maybe trim 5-10 minutes from this and not weaken it/perhaps even enhance it

Yes, I get that but it feels too repetitive. You can't help but start feeling bored at some point when trying to sit through this thing in one go. There's a difference between going for a certain style and introducing a level of variation within those confines while keeping hold of the listener's attention, and just using the same sonic shtick over and over again. Sun Forest is a great example of the former, the title track - the latter.

There's a slight lull just before side 2 when he leans too hard of ghostly woah-oh backing vocals on two songs back to back - but that's the only time the spell breaks at all for me

pikazilla the kind of goofy to mark down a drone album for not having a guitar solo

This was my first Nick and I don't really know what I think of it. Just very not my usual style.
