Fantastic. Everything you could ask for with this kind of sound. It’s gorgeous. My only complaint is it can feel maybe a bit TOO slow time to time. Regardless this is fantastic
The most influential (and best) emo album of all time. The melancholy and comfy mood that this album weaves is one that is tough to master, but one of the most important parts of the record.
I myself can't connect with this album emotionally and thematically, mostly because the whole theme of the album is a bit irrelevant for me.
But I love the sound on this album. The sounds are kinda same throughout the record but they are always almost engaging, with also using some odd time signatures and elements of math rock. (which still is a very weird and interesting genre for me)
The vocal dude is ok, still, doesn't move me but he's doing great.
Very good record as a whole.
Yeah Pitchfork's guy was definitely smoking something when writing this ↓
Finally, I've been hearing about this album for so much time by now. I was always intrigued by its enormous reputation and praise, and I remember I've heard some songs from it in the past which I quite liked. Anyway, after finally listening to it, I understand the praise it's getting but I'm also not really blown away by it (still great though).
