3.5 great | Blud Vidal | April 15th 20 | Javier Reyes crafts a beautiful, jazzy work here to exercise some of his non-AAL energy. It's a shame that any of his projects will be compared to his work in AAL, but the contrast between the work serves to highlight Reyes' songwriting and compositional prowess.

3.5 great | Nine | September 10th 18 | Fantastic stuff here. "Ever Wonder" and "Azul" are my favorites and I think this is a good improvement from Polysemy. In comparison to the last record, there's a lot more diversity in this record and each of the songs pretty much has their own identity to them. Also, the last track (Plato) was certainly a curveball. Was not expecting that ending at all.

3.5 great | Bedex | March 26th 21 | Mestis refines its personal touch and strays resolutely away from its AAL roots by offering something far more relaxed, cleaner, but still groovy and with a more prominent latin twist. This is particularly obvious on tracks like 2, the jammy 4 which got me to check Mestis in the first place, and the oh so relaxed 6. Whilst I appreciate its latin guitar tinges, 1 does have a sort of shreddy-for-nothing aspect to it, and 3 is kind of halfway stylistically between that and 2. 5 is a bit more electronic but transitions quite well. 7 however doesn't work so well. I don't mind weirdcore but on something so otherwise clean and pristine, it feels weird to add 6-7min of some weird distorted vocals and weird sounds, especially when nothing comes after it. This odd album closure drops it a point if not two, to maybe a sort of 3.55

5.0 classic | Bro has djent in his pie | January 10th 21 | A stunning work from Javier Reyez of AAL, still quite progressive but a lot more accessible than AAL. Great use of dynamics keeps the work engaging, extremely catchy melodies throughout. Technical and at the same time relaxed, a perfect balance of two ideals, could definitely do without the final track Plato, but it adds a bit of ambience to the end of the record, I suppose.
