| 3.0 good | Tundra (Sput Villain) | September 6th 25 |
I can't quite understand how you manage to make ambient djent feel dull, yet Novelists have somehow achieved this on Souvenirs. One significant issue is its length; it drags on and loses its impact by about halfway through. To make matters worse, the rhythms often lean more towards vibrant than ethereal. It's not entirely bad, as it does make the album relatively accessible, but this often results in a somewhat bland experience. The riffs, while lively and energetic, seldom rise to the level of being truly remarkable. Once again, the primary drawback is the excessive length. If this had been released as an EP, they might have concentrated on the standout tracks and enhanced them. There are moments of brilliance within the album. It shines brightest when it embraces its ethereal qualities, but the overly lively rhythms tend to dilute its impact, leaving it feeling stretched too thin.

Meloprogcore: ain't my cuppa anymore, but this is well done, yet it also is too long yfm? This is pretty fun though

The questionable lyrics are forgivable when you consider that they are French and still somehow write better lyrics than many bands in the genre that speak English. They're difficult to understand as it is, more or less making the vocals just another instrument, and one that fits well the often laid back, groovy style of metalcore. A decent amount of technicality make the album a fun listen.
