| 5.0 classic | Slex | November 24th 20 |
This completely shattered my expectations. This is the most well-crafted, air-tight album in any genre of rock released this year. By building on an already strong foundation, and focusing on and perfecting flow and atmosphere, Sleepless proves that by giving the little things their due, bigger CAN be better. I count this as metalcore's Vheissu moment: an already accomplished band leveling up to a higher understanding and evolution of their genre of choice.

The equation seems simple at first glance: metalcore + post-metal = post-metalcore. You gotta make sure all the elements shine for your final product to truly stand out. Thankfully, Palm Reader came up with a carefully crafted album, playing as much on metalcore's brutality, post-hardcore's clean - and not cheesy, yay! - vocals, as well as post-metal's atmospheric passages. This formula is supported by a tip-top production that allows each element to shine, thus reinforcing the album's overall impact. My fav 2020 post-metalcore release.

I liked their last album but this one surpasses it on every level. I hope these guys get the credit they deserve!

vocals are grating in my opinion, and the melodrama of the instrumentals never quite caught with my emotions so i guess this one just wasn't for me, stream yashira tho

A metalcore cocktail that hits all the right notes with Greg Pucatios british love child at the front

I have never previously liked a Palm Reader release, but I thought I'd give this a listen anyway. My fucking word. This is absolutely stunning. The way "A Bird and it's Feathers" builds and moves around is perfect. "False Thirst" is another highlight. The use of synths and organ in the last track is also a wonderful inclusion. If this had come out a couple of months ago it may well be in my top 3 albums of the year. Even though I have only had it 3 days its already in my top 10.

Palm Reader pair space and atmosphere with sludgy riffs to create an enormous sounding record. The first half
of the album does a great job in building momentum towards a climax and although this record does have many
peaks, the tail end of this record loses a bit of this momentum as things slow down. Nevertheless a great record
worth checking out.
Highlights: Stay Down, A Bird & Its Feathers, Ending Cycle
