the mastering on this feels a little off though. the levels song to song feel a bit odd. maybe it’s a dolby thing though.
I love this. They definitely lean into more post rock/shoegaze on this than their previous work. I would still say that I find it to be more of a continuation of their sound rather than a reinventing.
I am one of the weird ppl where Sunbather never really clicked for me but NB is one of my fav heavy records of all time and also thought OCHL was really good too but didn’t have as much staying power. excited to finish this, only made it 3 tracks in last night but it was off to a phenomenal start.
while this is true, almost every song on here would have stuck out as an outlier song though, with gifts for the earth probably being the most similar thing to anything on this
listening to this now and it's pretty incredible. I also really dug Sunbather but nothing since then as much, but this album is sure to turn that around. people whining about scream vocals
I had 0 idea there wouldn’t be screaming. Maybe I just forgot listening to the singles if I ever did. But yeah that first song was a complete whiplash from what I expected. Sounds good though.
Really liking this! It’s definitely not a one to one comparison but I feel like I’m walking through the same enchanted forest that I do when I listen to Kodama when I’m listening to this lol
