0.0 didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | February 1st 22

40 Watt Sun have bored me before, as well as enthralled me. So going into this new album was a mixed bag of feelings, especially given their fanbase adores the boring stuff just as much as the profound. However, I was actually greatly surprised that this time around all of my previous gripes and reservations have been mostly improved upon. No longer is the band muddled by their long-winded songwriting, but they use it greatly to their advantage in crafting these patient, gentle melodies that you don't actually mind going on forever. The drawn-out song-writing is the key here, not the detriment.

Towards the end it dragged. For my taste 20 minutes too long. I'm not an expert in this kind of music, but I couldn't tell any difference between the songs, for me they are all the same. Apart from that nice atmospheric slow rock.

No more doom :[ This is indeed mostly post-rockish slowcore, with lengths ranging from "tad-too-long" ("Until") to "way-too-long" ("Raise Me Up"). At least it's extremely pretty!
