Time of Land, contrary to popular belief, was not made with a specific purpose in mind. These are not B-Sides of any kind, but rather four songs that work together stylistically. Of the four songs on here, two are ambient pieces with minimal to no vocals. "Wizard of the Black Hundreds" is one such piece and definitely sheds more light on their black metal influence that has only been hinted at in the past. The clear standouts, however, are the two tracks that feature extensive vocals. "The Icon and The Axe" is a rather poppy song that has an infectiously catchy vocal line and, gasp!, a gang shout? Yes, a gang vocal shout. The other clear standout is "Woe Unto Us", which would not sound unwelcome on a Joy Division album. All in all, this is a solid release that will ultimately help tide fans over until the next full-length is released (hopefully) this year, but Time of Land can stand on its own in Have a Nice Life's discography as another interesting release.

Although these tracks aren't Deathconsciousness b-sides, they feel like they are, as they heavily carry the same drone post-punkgaze aesthetic as the band's pinnacle while simply being much less heart-stopping.

Initially released as a free cassette tape available only at live performances, Time Of Land is a typically beautiful but untypically streamlined effort from Have A Nice Life, consisting of two quaint, dronier tracks and two hazy post-punk/shoegaze songs. The only one of these that is particularly great is closer "The Icon And The Axe" due to the vested vocal performance and an oddly memorable, repetitive drone. The other tracks aren't bad by any means, just below average for what Have A Nice Life can usually do. They're pretty enough, though, so they're at least decent, especially for a free project. It's available for free download at the Enemies List website, so if this interests you, have at it.

underwhelming, exciting, creepy and intriguing are four words that can describe this album... and they all describe it perfectly. An odd clump of songs from an even more odd and awe-inspiring album 3.4/5
