Eraser is really something. Lost my mother 4 years ago, and even though I don’t know the story behind this song, these lyrics sure are resonating deeeeeeep.
Mmmm I Don't Belong Here is hitting real good. I think this is pretty good on first listen, but I just have a feeling this is going to really grow on me with repeated listens.
Yeah I dig this a lot. Outside of the aforementioned band comparisons, there's a real "existential dread" vibe here that I associate with MWY's [Untitled]. This doesn't have the full on chaotic moments like that album does though. I appreciate the restraint here though, I definitely thought the songs were going to lean into noisy endings or bridges, and the held off for the most part.
Half way through and this is so good. I love his lyrics and voice and always have, even if it isn't "technically" amazing, it just speaks to me.
HOLY SHIT. Starting off with bang. Void is killer. I held off on the singles so I'm pumped for the rest of this.
I’m really blown away that they could top Reverie Lagoon. It’s so good. Heavy lyrically, atmospheric instrumentally. This album has it all. I think this just snuck in as my AOTY.
Brilliant. That quiet to loud shift on Void really makes you sit up and pay attention. Going to get a lot of listens.
This blew my expectations away. It's amazing. Musically they take some huge risks on this, songs are very dynamic, varied and genuinely interesting. Vocally Kyle sounds great, he mixes it up enough to the point where it doesn't get boring. And lyrically it's superb, love the storytelling on this. As each song progresses more and more of the story / break up is unfurled. I genuinely enjoy his writing style on this, it's not your typical break up lyrics as he explores what seems like both sides of the story. Looking forward to continued listening of this. There's so much to pick up on
This album is incredible and I'm so grateful they didn't call it a day. They've managed to make an album that is fresh for them but also sounds like all of their past releases combined. Beautiful.
