There’s genuinely great ideas here, but a lot isn’t properly executed. Fireworks’ ‘Higher Lonely Power’ often stumbles not too soon after it gets going. While songs like “God Approved Insurance Plan” and “Veins in David’s Hand” are quite good, the vast majority of the group’s fourth album is miserably boring.

band with noisy p-hc opener follows it up with a boring ptv rip off? yeah ok nice one i’m not falling for this again
it’s just very boring not really much to hold on to and i kind of wish it kept going in its opening sound
