Certainly a step up from "Making a Door Less Open" but by no means their strongest release to date. Despite some incredible highs on the album (most notably the 3 track run of 10+ minute songs) I must eat my words and proclaim that "The Scholars" did not FULLY live up to the hype.

To all of the bandwagoners I say: YOU CAN NEVER COME TO THIS PLACE
Absolutely mind blowing. A revolutionary album turned fully immersive experience.
Really enjoyed the new BCNR sound had some lovely instrumental climaxes, just a little underwhelming in places
This album is going to be generational. Quote me on it.
A sensational listen from start to finish. Emotional, soothing, and incredibly moving
The ending pulled it back for me, but still nothing revolutionary coming from these new BCNR singles...
Really just all over the place, inconsistencies in the production and general feel of the album make it a confusing listen at best.
An understandably less cohesive rerelease of Peggy's ILDMLFY, its strength laying in the records previously unheard bangers as well as a wider raw and unfiltered feel to the listening experience

On Carly Harrison - Natural Disaster
"Nothing wrong with a song being small and intimate, but if you produce a song where the instrumental is little more than a tapping of a few keys on a piano monotonously for the entire song, it’s going to sound thin, incomplete, and boring. Furthermore when the vocals sound that clunky, and frankly, bad, it’s hard to really get in touch with the message of the lyrics which, upon inspection, seem to be about as unique and thought provoking as every mainstream pop song, with the added bonus of being hard to follow and lacking in any coherent story. The song is a good first effort and I see the vision, but lying to people and saying they have talent just because the truth hurts makes them complacent and is an insult to true art and good music"
