Wow. I know recency bias and all that but like, god damn. This is their best and it’s not even close imo. Absolutely fucking massive. After reading that bit about how the drums were recorded, it sounds so obvious. Really full band, live energy there
The use of modulation is so effective throughout. I dunno what’s going on at the end of Exit Row with those guitars but the way it feels crushing and enveloping all at once makes me wanna run through a wall lol Also I love Reminders but yeah it did feel a little out of place on first listen. I’ll get used to it I’m sure
I’m on Limelight now (the only pre-release track I listened to aside from Deflector) and I love how prominent the bass is in the mix, loving this so far. Reminders is catchy as hell.
Digging this a lot on first listen (on A Broadcast). Reminders caught me off guard, but I'm sure it'll grow on me with future listens. Didn't realize MO was on this until I saw the feature in the title when I went to check the title of the song, so I was sitting in anticipation ready to hear Andy come in. Super cool moment.
Haven’t listened to anything of theirs in a while but definitely checking this out if not only for the fact that this cover art is amazing, Nick is such a good designer
Really glad I didn’t overplay Limelight, what a song. Bass is sounding thicc on this so far. It’s early and I’m still half asleep, but the title track was really cool, a lot of post rock vibes in that one.
I'm a very casual fan (probably only listened to all their albums through once), but this is immediately my favorite. I'll be spinning this a lot.
Feign is ridiculously good. Have always loved this band on a random track basis. Finally listening to one start to finish.
