Album Rating: 3.8
if by "boring" you mean not relentlessly minor key and unconcerned with grandiose dynamics, sure
few of these pieces (and some of what I've heard from older stuff) are somewhat dull; most of it is written with just enough intricacy to reward a focused listen and more than enough subtle ebb and flow to carry a lazy one

you are a metal reviewer; it is my destined mission to sanction your use of the word 'boring' ;]

"you are a metal reviewer"
Easy with the tags there, I review a lot more than metal, hell I just reviewed Nicole Doll Bangers' a week ago. I'll peek this though, gotta give everything a chance.

Trust Johnny to somehow find a reason to slightly gatekeep the metal writers.

Pfft y'all make it so much easier than it needs to be
"just reviewed Nicole Doll Bangers"
Isn't this the Ethel Cain/LDR/heyday U.S. Girls sound with gothic melodrama dialled way up or am I getting mixed?

Johnny caught in between denial and back tracking. So yes.

Not sure I see any of either, but stroppy weigh-ins are not your best look m'dude
Just think it's worth an automatic eyeroll to get [haven't heard the album but] "boring" as an immediate association the one time in a blue moon (probs since Milo's Makaya McCraven rev) anyone covers something on this site that isn't oriented around loud guitar sounds or naked expressions of pathos/catharsis/melancholy, but hey I'm sure you can think of less salty way to unpick that

I’ve got very little substance to substantiate my vague assumptions or posturing.

Johnny, my dude, chill. It was just what I remembered from thaaaat time I thiiiink I heard this band. In no way it was my intention to detract from your effort, and like I said, I'll check the album and, most definitely, report back.
And yes Nicole D is all those things but it's not metal.

Album Rating: 3.6 | Sound Off
I normally listen to everything that ends up on BNM but I don't like to see a rev 3.8 and a rating 5. let the BNM become BNM on their own
rev is nice though. I fear I'll yawn listening to this.

Yeah my bad Dewi, I didn't feel personally @d and likewise didn't mean to have a go at you. Appreciate pearl-clutching is hardly more conducive to good things than vague assumptions.
@dedex no BNM has ever become BNM by itself, and the notion that even half the albums that have appeared there in the past actually warrant the title is all the more reason to rig it. Karmic retribution will be served on the annual BNM cringelist, by which point the calibre of other records there will determine whether this was abuse of platform or worthwhile foregrounding of a site-marginalised sound on an otherwise largely regurgitative site function
This album has limited crescendo potential, no vanilla bangers and no viral Discourse cred, so up to you to decide how many yawns it nets
