| 3.4 great | Erwann S. EMERITUS | October 21st 21 |
A succession of pretty electronic'n'drony landscapes, The Men... perhaps takes too much care into putting every possible idea into a constantly-flowing template.

| 3.5 great | Bedex | November 4th 19 |
Man I thought this was going to be great, but the middle part really let me down. The intro is gorgeous, vocal ambient drone that very slowly builds up until a nice drum patterns kicks in at a surprise. That first part belongs in 4.0 territory really. The album outro, a lush, reverb-drenched synthy descent is absolutely superb too and could well make it to that level as well - although the very finale was really not the place to have that noisy texture there. The middle of the album however, from the moment the choral drone starts being sidechained to the drums right until that synthy outro is really disappointing Haxan Cloak material, not unlike his first LP, that just really brings the record down a solid bunch. I'll re-listen to parts of this, but it only reaches an overall 3.5
