Such a great change of direction. Hits all the right places for an AOTY contender.

Reminds me of a Brand New album. I'm loving the new sound and will definitely be listening to this one quite a bit.

A damn near 180 from "Much Love" in almost every way. Very dense and heavy album that will take multiple listens. In many ways it reminds me of Brand News' "Daisy" in terms of the direction they took.

Quite a departure for this band. Heavy, noisy, but melodic and catchy. "Hate TKO", "Mirrors" and "Leather Daddy" are awesome. Don't let some of the screamed vocals turn you off, they are only sprinkled in to accentuate the mood of the songs. Lyrics can be depressing but the vibe I get off this album is great. Each song melds into the next.

This reminds me of what Citizen was going for with Everybody Is Going To Heaven except this is executed much
better

Honestly, this album would be a 5 if it were a few minutes longer. It hits everything just right and I'm hoping they keep going in this direction because there are very few bands nowadays that take it back. I will definitely keep jamming to this.

Death Is a Warm Blanket is an interesting record to me. Microwave reminds me of the era of post-hardcore I grew up in, with bands like Underoath and Emery, but if they took more from Deftones's sound. The songs range quite a bit from hazy, alt metal feeling passages to louder hardcore screams over shredding guitar. Microwave's lyrical content about existing in the music industry and trying to make it work appeals to me quite a bit, and I like their louder songs quite a bit, but ultimately this album ends up being rather hit or miss for me.

This album tries to reheat dark 90s Alt-Rock but the result comes out as mostly flavourless mush that's cold in the middle.

This is a real solid album, but I have to agree with the person who said this was one of their greatest disappointments of the year. I was in love with their old, more melodic sound. Much Love is a perfect 10 album for me. I probably listened to it like a hundred times. I can't see that happening with this one. I'm really digging some of the jams, but I'm just sad with the direction they decided to go. I was really hyped for this :/

Happy to see them headed in this direction. All of the singles for such a short album kind of brought this down for me. Feels like they have a classic album in them somewhere
