Album cover is like if the apartment from New Girl survived a nuclear Holocaust and was left uninhabited.

The album has an identity problem and a bad ambience-to-sludge ratio, but it's worth listening for Menhir and HTV-3

This bored the shit out of me. Has no flow and even less of a sense of identity

Kind of a bumpy ride not really feeling like an album. Ridiculously good outro, tho.

2.5 averagedidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | August 21st 21

Only the second album in the 15 years of Bossk's existence sees the band at a crossroads. But more so than crossroads, it captures the band in indecision. The heavy, blistering adventure that were their first EPs and moreover their first album, now shows signs of age, crackling under the weight of not wanting to let go of the sound that made their name and also an as yet undefined direction that is to ensure their further forays. 'Migration' is a grim record; for every grimly disturbing metallic cut there is an equally grim but significantly less disturbing less metallic and much, much more longevous unexciting interlude, ever so misplaced to serve only as a ruin of any possible momentum. Each new musical idea that serves to bring Bossk out of a creative cocoon is admirable, the electronic industrial leanings on "HTV-3" or even grind-inspired tinges sprinkled across, and I am most certainly intrigued as to what flowers will bloom out of these new experiments. But as of right now Bossk's newest, in migrating across sounds old and new, manages only to tease and not deliver.

A confusing and somewhat frustratng record. Bad sequencing and a band sounding unsure of what they
really want to do. rSome of the ambient bits are actually nicely done although kinda generic, and
when they rock out, they are monstrously good, and that�s what makes it frustrating : this is a
band with huge potential to be realized but right now they are a mess.

I can?t remember anything about this after one listen. Hopefully it grows a little.

3.5 greatSoulmanager | June 20th 21

Awesome work, song quality is great overall, however the album suffers from a bad sense of flow and too great a contrast in genre and sound, which makes it feel inconsistent and unfocused. Totally unexpected, I thought we'd get something as good as if not better than Audio Noir after the release of Menhir and HTV-3.
