At the very least, Ethereal tries offering a little something for everyone.

Ethereal isn’t terrible, but it also isn’t really anything special either. It’s just decent.

I have never been impressed with SNOT’s music before, so coming into this I wasn’t expecting much. And while I still don’t love this, I do see more potential here and think this is overall pretty decent.

Personally, this album is overhated AS FUCK. Yes there’s some bad writing and mid singing, but I love it. And that album cover? GODDAAAAAMN. Heat. Blue Moon is beautiful btw.
