 | Grace Cathedral Park In The Evenings Of Regret
Actually from 17 June, hello Sputcrash. You liked that country part in Dead Flag Blues? Well, in large part this is it but over the course of 76 minutes. This is really well crafted, and scrolling to any one point will show delicate post-rock, great tones, and occasionally some guest instruments like some ? sax or some ? e-organ. But I have to say on the whole it feels it is lacking a bit of dynamics and it's always a bit of the same good stuff without much differentiation or any 'heights'. There's a point in 5 where things speed up, and I got so excited, but they very rapidly return to standard. That's about the only time the album steps awa | 4.0

I like these guys' massive gritty tone, especially in the first track, a jam of solid noisy sludgy vaguely Eldery riffage. I am not always a fan of the vocals, and idk if it is because I am listening to this tired and working but this got fatiguing fast. Much of the album is a gritty riffy gloubiboulga that only occasionally brought me back in e.g. on 5. After a (at least on the Spotify version) spectacularly bad transition from 7 to 8, the calmer 8 felt like a welcome rest from the wall of sound these guys dish out. Nice, inspiring, great tone, I might have to listen to this when life's better. 3.4 | 3.5

ok well from a couple days ago, my soundoff doesnt seem to have saved (love you sput). I wasn't particularly moved by this, some songs are kinda cool, most pass, there's a little too much singing again. A competent band, just not in my style. 3.4 | 3.5

A very solid DOOMcore record which is probably slightly underrated but does falter in its middle. Not minding a few kinda cringe or disruptive skit sections as ever, this is a well flowing set of solid songs with catchy but not too glitchy crazy beats. 1-4 is all round solid, 5-7 and 9 are slight letdowns, then the rest of the album is pretty much all solid tracks again, including the two remixes tagged on at the end which do feel nicely included in the record and are both fun happy reworks of earlier tracks. Including them or not does not really change my rating to be honest, this is a nice round 4.0 | 4.0

This starts off really nice, a solid Jakob intro in their delay-heavy style that I really enjoy, with a gentle but evocative buildup. By minute 17, it feels like they are d*cking around a little too much with the delays and you are starting to wish this track would start making its apical point. By a few minutes later, it really sounds like you're just listening to the band d*cking around and having fun but not really trying to make coherent or evocative music, and so my rating dropped by the minute, barely scraping a tepid 3.3 | 3.5

A strong but uneven exercise in Dilla ism. The songs are very short but flow well in a continuous ebb and flow between OOOMPH face to borderline annoying, albeit mostly skewed towards the former. Fun syncopated drums all round, good samples, a good time. I only fear that the best tracks wont work as well in isolation due to their short length, but there is a number of them to be sure. 3.8 | 4.0

Well this is dreamy, sometimes housey, sometimes snessy, often synthy, and I like it. I have great nostalgic love for sounds like those on 3, those vaguely snes rpg type winds are yum. It's great reverie background, although of its merit in focused dedicated listen I am less sure. 3.65 | 3.5

 | ToSmokMuzyki an immediately more descriptive and accurate summary than anything on this page with no humhawing or first year undergrad word count stretching agreed
