Every time it comes on I think it’s Thrice st first lol

 

This album bangs

 

man i love this. sounds a lot like the first two sparta records.

 

Enjoying this a lot. Head alight is stuck in my head today

 

Embrace reminds me of (good) Foo Fighters more than anything but can hear some thrice too now that I'm thinking of it

 

While we're making comparisons, the intro to "Sever" sounds like Anberlin's "A Whisper & A Clamor"

 

Record is fantastic.

Never been an “album’ guy for these lads but this is really doing something for me.

Also love the production on it, which I feel like is typically mostly miss for me when bands go for this sound

 

Still really digging this and listening daily, lot of ear worms on this one.

 

I uploaded the two demos from the CD that I got with my rough trade vinyl if anyone wants to hear them.

 

"Deadweight" is such a banger

 

I love about half of this currently, and it's not like I hate the other half, so I'm hopeful it will continue to grow on me. I don't love the production on some of the songs, but regardless, I think it's easily their best (and most interesting) songwriting since Promise Everything (if not the Further Sky EP).

 

This is all I've wanted to listen to since it came out. Probably my AOTY at the moment.
