| it sounds exactly like an album from a metalcore band that just recently heard about this cool thing called sludge metal and wanted to give it a try but were too chickenshit to fully commit to the stylistic change, but it's surprisingly competent for an album with that description. at times (especially on bog walker) it executes the style admirably, and at others it just sounds like their typical metalcore schtick in slow motion. get back to me when you've heard more stuff from the classic NOLA scene and learned how to change your guitar tone, lads |

| Deafheaven Infinite Granite | 4.0 |
| In the lead-up to Infinite Granite's release, comparisons were drawn to Kid A due rDeafheaven's stylistic departure from previous work, but I honestly think the album is rmost comparable to The King of Limbs. It's a definite stylistic change, but it's not that rfar off from what the band has done in the past. Its tone is a lot more subdued and rintimate than the sprawling epics that fans have come to expect, and as such, it's rclearly disappointing a lot of listeners. But it's a brilliant showcase for the band's rsongwriting chops. Every member of the band (especially Daniel Tracy) and the producer rhave clearly thought through their contributions deliberately and with agonizing detail, rresulting in some of the most gorgeous passages Deafheaven has recorded since Sunbather, rparticularly in the bridges. It might turn off some fans, but to this fan, it's a rtriumph. |

| This is disappointing considering how good Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill was, and especially considering what high ratings this album is getting. It begins endearingly, with some great atmospheres, but as the album drags on, the atmospheres become more tedious and it becomes harder and harder to remain interested, until finally you realize that you don't remember a damn thing about what you just heard. The nearly-hour-and-a-half run time doesn't help, either. |
