| 4.0 excellent | TheDistantFuture | November 28th 23 |
I really hope this band picks up some steam, because, while the songs they write are not immediate bangers, there's a really unique and special atmosphere they cultivate in them. This effect has only grown with Alchemy for the Dead, seeing them incorporate further electronic / trip hop influences, while keeping the mood knife-cuttingly thick. Give this a few listens before reaching a conclusion.

| 2.5 average | Stop calling Intronaut post-metal | May 17th 23 |
I hate giving this a 2.5, especially after L&D, but that's what we're left with. Spotlights are drawing from a palette that clearly has so much potential, and yet the final product rarely hits home.

There is a lot to love from this fourth Spotlights record. There are hypnotizing and heavy stoner metal guitar licks on top of these alternative metal underpinnings that are becoming more and more famous. Plus, the use of long-winding and progressive post-metal adds a lot of nuances that probably would leave the record dry without it. However, this record is beyond one-dimensional. After about 20 minutes you pretty much have heard everything, you are going to hear. Therefore, it is a fine album while it is on, but you can pretty much move on when you?re done with it.

| 4.5 superb | THummerz | May 2nd 23 |
Took a few listens, but now I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to this record....... Maybe it was the artwork that put me off initially - first bite is with the eye and all that.r
