I kinda dig Wait ngl but I see why people think it’s one of the lesser tracks on here

One track I really don't dig and sounds like filler to me is Focus, but Wait? Nah, that's really great and I love the guitar fun they're having

I kinddd of enjoy Focus but if I'm being honest it is kind of insipid dissonant..metalcore, dare I say?

Wait is just too much of a curve ball and imo should've been put to the chopping block

final bump completed! Maybe One Day sucks like completely but damn the closer bangs, and leaves you with the feeling of what this could've been.

Nah, you pretty much got it. This thing is as bland as it gets.

*"The Work is beautiful. The Work is frustrating. The Work is utterly baffling."*



Agreed with all of the above. Still a highly compelling listen despite its stilted, genre-mashing compositions and rough edges, IMO.

I can't really say that. It's certainly ambitious I'll give it that

I feel this isn't as chuggcore as people make it sound, and also Maybe One Day is so pleasant

I agree with Dedes that these guys just don’t care if you don’t want a sappy, dreamy ballad brushed in with your doomy prog death. I think the contrast either creates something dissonant or beautiful—depends on the moment in the music and the listener, I suppose.
