this is very much not the type of thing I listen to anymore but it’s hitting on pretty much every level. Immaculately recorded, that’s for damn sure
I'm not sure. The vocals? I remember my friend getting really into Hum and Failure back when we were in early high school and none of their older stuff hit me either. I'm only on "Step Into You" (which I do like), but yeah. It's not bad, it's just not really my bag.
Cloud City is dope. Maybe I just need to get into them more. EDIT: Folding is dope too. Maybe I just didn't like the first few songs.
I think my favorite part of this album is when that clean lick comes in for the first time around the 5:00 mark in Shapeshifter
legitimately one of the most enveloping, immersive albums ive ever heard in my life. by the time i die this will be in my top 10 favorite records of all time, i guarantee it. i am obsessed and cannot stop listening. the riffs and tones bring isis and sleep to mind. but the vocals are so fucking soothing and calming. just fucking stunning all around. step into you is that track for me right now, huge isis vibes (later day) from that guitar.
hah i listened to the sciences today for the first time since it came out because of this record. so great.
Listen to Cloud City in the car every single day on the way to work and alternate between full on ugly sobbing and breaking my fuckin neck every time
when this album dropped i was knee deep in an extremely dangerous relapse, it felt like i was barely grasping onto life for a week but i could not stop listening to this record. it kept me tethered to this world or something, i dont know, it was extremely spiritual and divine.
you into their old stuff at all? Downward is Heavenward is that album for me but kind of the opposite experience, I listen to it when I’m very low and anxious and it takes me to a place away from the noise and bullshit
years ago when i first discovered them i listened to their stuff but not since then, def gonna be doing a deep dive soon if i can ever stop hitting replay on this album every time its over.
