A Wilhelm Scream Lose Your Delusion3.0
What a weird album. There are some great moments on here and you can tell the boys are having a lot of fun. But so many parts of songs are ideas that didn't get fully fleshed out. Some transitions are melodically awkward. Some parts are cheesy. They definitely still bring the energy though. Album ending is definitely not a strong point either. Agreed that Be One to No One is the top track here, it really has a bit of everything, with great lyrics to boot. Some of the vocal choices leave me scratching my head though.

this is incredible. riffs for days, i still find my self in shock listening to yellow eyes at the variety of riffs and vocal styles here. how do they keep progressing even on their 8th release?

heavy vocals are monotonic, production is muddy, and spacey/progressive parts are not better than the previous album. so, thats a 4 because i cant stop listening to it. wish there were more female vox
Polyphia Renaissance3.0
i am also torn, the guitar work is obviously very good, but the drumming is just so bad and the pop melodies seem forced. the drummer hits that silly open hi-hat dance beat more than once and has no creative rhythms or fills. the band's social media presence indicates they have completely sold out - but i still find myself coming back to this. it's friendly, but i wouldn't spend too much time on it

would be at least 3 points higher if the singer didn't sound like he had strep throat. an instrumental version of this would be much better tbh

vocals can be weird at times but overall this thing is an absolute jam. no true standout moments, but the mixing throughout is superb. one of their best
Cloudkicker Woum2.0
too clean. seems like something i could easily play by myself without any thought or direction. the layering of riffs is amateur at best

based on my 20 listens of "burn" this is going to crush. d/l-ing the leakage meow

The tragedy of this album is that Tommy is plastered all over it

the harsh vox are very monotonous, but the instrumentals and the inclusion of clean vox are amazing. new guitarist and vocals are very welcomed additions

after many many listens, this had become one of my all time favorite albums. the blend of genres is amazing, the flow between songs, and the variation throughout the 35 minute run time is just perfect for me. seems like a major step up from their previous work. going to see them tonight with dads. let's see if they can pull off these songs live.
Deafheaven Sunbather5.0

very poppy/electronic but not in a terribly bad way. my favorite is the ditty at the end of the album. i might go into audacity and just loop it.

i don't know what it is about this album. maybe his voice, or that each song sounds just like the one before it? album should get some air time though.

there is no feeling behind this music. i dont remember any parts that were particularly cohesive either. i had high hopes for this after the single was released, but when they stuck to the same formula for every song it got old really fast...

do you know that BTBAM's myspace says the release date in October 26th ? obviously its a mistake because tuesdays are release days, but i think reviews should be able to be posted now ! my preorder came in on saturday and i think this cd clicked on the third time for me. do not be discouraged by the first listen. this is really good.
