With III they deliver their most polished album to date, and their most coherent statement of how they relate to their forebears.
Like their progenitors, Föllakzoid’s unwavering sense of purpose on III is admirable.
It appears it's best to accept III for what it is - a sprawling, trippy lab experiment of a drone that gives way to a mere four tracks over forty-five minutes.
Ultimately, III is some of Föllakzoid's most confident work yet, and a testament to their ability to be heavy and atmospheric at the same time.
III is a slow, methodical record that commands listeners’ full attention, but it rewards the investment. Föllakzoid have further reiterated their point that music needs to be heard and felt in full to be understood.
A band with chops like these should really try to do more with them.
