Grayscale - Umbra (August 27, 2021) Album • Page 11

Album shaping up to be a mixed bag for me

 

Yeah def not as cohesive as the last two

 

I haven’t listened to this band since their last album and remembered liking it a lot. Just found out they have a new one out tomorrow. I hope it’s good!

 

It’s feels way too full. The songs are fun but these songs have been stuffed and messed with tooooooo much.

 

as a heads up they're doing an acoustic set with a q&a tomorrow at Creep records in Philly

 

Oh the intro and the first track are SICK, will have to listen to the rest in the morning

 

Guess it’s never gonna happen but wish these guys built off of their progression from Nella Vita. This new album sounds like a cover band that tried writing their own original songs.

 

Nella Vita is the only album of theirs that I really connected with. On my first listen of this one and I am actually enjoying it a lot. Surprised after the lukewarm reaction so far here.

 

Kept Me Alive is incredible, i’m not vibing with much of the rest of the record though

 

Yeah I’m not enjoying this, sadly. Two duds in a row for me, following Adornment and Nella Vita. Hope others dig it though.

 

lots of good here, but agree it doesn't sound cohesive.

it really feels like they aren't a full time band sometimes. random tours here and there, random song drops / albums. think this just needed some time to bake.

 

I really, really enjoy this. That being said, it feels like they listened to Sex by The 1975 and said “let’s do that 8 times.”

 

I’m going in cautiously optimistic. Not a surprise but their subreddit is a lot more positive on this record than this thread

 

I like it enough. I just hear the killers. Every song didn’t need to be this bombastic rock ballad though.
