words cannot describe the beautiful sense of nostalgia this album art invokes in me. its like if
sunbather chain smoked a bunch of malboro reds and gave me a hug.
just like how granny use to hug me

Easily the best Deafheaven record since Sunbather. Might be a 5 tbh

The final two songs seal this as their best album. Each band member overacheiving in their rrole. This will have long-term replay value - I will spend hours listening to each instrument r(starting with the drums of course...wow). Can't wait until the singer's poetic lyrics are ravailable so I can enjoy this even more. Hope this band keeps going for a long time.

Phenomenal album. This really feels like the logical (and successful) next evolution to Deafheaven's sound from New Bermuda. Not a minute wasted on this album, with every band member shining at every chance.

Is this really that good or is the good ole rSput glazing in full effect???: It is rthat good for the most part. The pure black rmetal tracks resonate with me the most. Not rquite Roads/Sunbather/Bermuda level but still rfantastic. Y'all gotta chill with the 5s rthough lmao. Highlights are Doberman, rMagnolia, Revelator, Body Behavior and Winona.

Deafheaven's best album by an incredibly large margin. They crunched the numbers and managed to take the best elements of all of their prior offerings and inject them with steroids. rThe compositions are off the fucking chain, the vocals are nasty, and the reverb is bricked to the fucking tits.

Less experimental and adventurous than prior albums, but it makes up for that with tight writing and impressive, thrilling instrumentals. They really doubled down on overall production and each song feels transcendent, even in the heaviest moments. It?s definitely amongst their best material to date. Winona and The Marvelous Orange Tree remind me so much of tracks from Sunbather, ending this album with an impressive one-two punch. Can?t wait to put this on repeat for the foreseeable future

Great album that is contoured to the facets that make DH such a good blackgaze band. They're not pushing much here. But, they've revisited a very comfortable space that they occupy with aplomb. Unironically a fairly comfy listen.

Powerful. Although I can imagine not being able to listen to this too often, such is the emotional intensity of the album.

Allow me to be the first to say it - this band absolutely sucks. I?ve previewed just about
everything from them recently in
light of the Sputnik bandwagon, but the reality is it?s fake black, no melody, no heavy,
lukewarm and accessible
depressive trash and this band now stands pretty much alone at the top of the Sputnik
overrated charts. For the sake of balance, it takes a 1. Listen to better music, seek
triumph. Nothing worse than fake black. Get off
the bandwagon kiddos, it doesn?t lead anywhere good.
And makes sense it has such a high review. SPUTNIK DOES NOT LET YOU RATE THIS A 1 or
1.5!!!!!!!!! Its a fake!!!!!!!!! I rated this a 1 and a 1.5 and it just says “No” even
though it’s already been released and makes you give it at least a 2! Man censorship really
taking off lol. This is bullshite!!!

Deafheaven once again changing the face of black metal for the better. Not the glowing pink spire that is Sunbather, but richly darkened with the gloomgaze they showcased on Infinite Granite to be a perfect amalgamation of what the band's always been trying to make: cityscape metal with both fresh and nostalgic bents.

Would be their magnum opus if sunbather didn?t exist. Might still be, tbh. Amethyst, Revelator, Magnolia, and particularly
Winona are all top tier deafheaven jams.

This feels nostalgic... on purpose. The new noises are very cool too. (Also, they should write more songs about trees, ehehe.)

All of you being excited about lonely people and their power, don't forget that the new album by Snapped Ankles is also out today, should you want to do some furious dancing later. If you like both albums, you're my type.

By far my fave from them. I was always more of a New Bermuda guy, against the endless crescendos songwriting from Sunbather(not a bad album imo). Also liked Infinite Granite. This is the perfect balance from their previous works. Amethyst, Magnolia, Revelator, Body Behaviour are inctedible songs.

Sure, they arguably released the best white metal album of all time several years ago with
Sunbather. But, this shit is also a classic but it's polished and it sounds GOOD

Deafheaven lets go of alt rock to return to their blackgaze love, and it sure works super well thanks to an always-massive production, catchy riffs, and propulsive rhythms. Ain't no Sunbather though.
