Oh boy.

I see the vision with this one, I really do. It has this cool eerie feel to it and I can’t lie, there is this terrifying vibe through this entire album. Seems like a logical step coming from mtbs last few albums…

However, there’s just too many problems with this for me to feel fully invested. This album feels really try hard in comparison to mtbs last albums, like its dangling keys in front of you to keep in that feeling, and if your out for even a minute, it ends ... read more

this is not a linear process

It feels like going to hell

A grim, eerie and dark experience, which taking it as a concept project, this is phenomenal. The ambiance, sound, production, performances, all of it. It's something I felt I shouldn't be listening to it since it's super dark and personal. First time I goy jump scared twice by an album. The transitions between tracks are super well done, and as said, it's not a linear process, the ending of the album loops perfectly ... read more
