it's the least-engaging of the six so far, but i do enjoy it. hopefully it's more enjoyable within the context of the album.
it's interesting for me because i didn't even remotely enjoy the last album. this is a sudden and significant step up IMO.
I love their variety. "The way the you were" is one of my favorites. Simple songs with Vessel are always great in the grand scheme of things.
Listening to the singles back to back and this last one is the weakest imo. It just lacks some of the power all the other ones have. Still not a bad song though.
Never heard of this band until like last week and now I feel like I see their name everywhere. Listening to the singles from this album though and I'm digging it
Started up YouTube Music and they played The Summoning. Never heard of this band before but I instantly liked it. I kept it on repeat for a few days lol. Somehow I also like everything else released so far.
This one sounds like a whiff on first listen but hopefully it'll grow on me like most of their music does.
I'm a little bummed about changing the egg vinyl to plain gold because I would've picked a different variant had I known that then, but also first world problems.
I could not get into anything of theirs previously. I tried. Didn't work. I tired twice on the middle album with the blue cover and It just annoyed me. HOWEVER. All these new songs are hits. I'm going to wear them out before the album and I'm going to have to show restraint. (I threw on the Sundowning on a drive back from a show the other day, and I luckily made it through it. I almost changed it a couple of times during my listen. The "slow stuff" didn't hold my attention at all. I don't think they do that type of song well enough (yet). Moody for the sake of being moody. Basically for me it was "get to the distorted guitars please". )
