Really neat and immersive build up, for a kind of mid explosive release. I typically like these kind of albums, but the climax didn’t work for me here.

Edit: Listened to it lossless, sounds much better now.

Pretty damn good, get’s a but repetitive, but sounds like an early Death Grips, and I’d even state that certain peaks on this album, are better than any Death Grips peaks on any of their albums.

It’s got good songs here and there, exceptional lyricism, but get’s old quick, especially with the repetitive production. Still, songs like the opener and Fairchild, but otherwise, it’s drags on.

Michael on Birthing: Reflective and women respektir🤡

Michael on Filth: Boiii ur cooked🗿

Me: Ayo sus😲 michael u mango diddly blud😂🫱

Unfortunately occasional beautifully intricate soundscapes do not make up for a majority of forgettable, slogs, of songs.

Even in songs that feel like they should comfort, they have slight unease within, possibly a piano overstaying its welcome, or random noises that emerge from seemingly nowhere, and then vanish moments later. All this to give this album an eerie, post apocalyptic, sensation. Like the cold winter following the initial happening, and the last pieces of humanity before they slowly fade away into the environment.

An album that is while sonically expansive, and packed with densely intricate soundscapes, feels as though much more could’ve been explored with the fantastic ideas presented. A great album overall, but one that could’ve been far more intriguing with a greater experimental boldness.

A little inconsistent at times, but overall pretty damn enjoyable, and I could certainly see my rating increasing with more time.

An album that doesn’t just serve as a climax to the trilogy, but of Michael Gira’s entire recording career.

Even with a song such as Cloud of Forgetting, opening up the album, we are immediately thrown into a intense, yet subdued, mirage like hypnotism. The drone, a feature that is most prominent in this album compared to any other Swans album yet, is oftentimes what turns off most from this album, yet despite that, when truly appreciated, is actually the albums greatest strength. ... read more

Not an album I feel I can fully appreciate until I get it on vinyl.

Extremely mid

The instrumentals are surprisingly well made, and I genuinely enjoyed a good portion of them. Unfortunately these vocals and lyrics are absolute abominations that ruin any enjoyment I could’ve had on the tracks.

Gets a ten instead of a zero cause Danny Brown is on it.

Hyperpop, all of its related genres, and just anything that sounds like this, is not my thing. I can see why people like it, but despite trying to listen to multiple albums, I still can’t personally connect with it. If anyone has any suggestions for some hyper pop I might enjoy to get more into it, then I’d like to hear some.

Surprised that I enjoyed quite a few of these songs, more that I did than didn’t. My biggest appreciation for this album is how the production feels much more different than most trap, almost space-like on of all things a trap album. Despite this, when songs aren’t enjoyable, they truly are bad. I would rather listen to Daughter of Darkness extended (Fantastic album, but the drone will take a toll in time) 3 times over in a single day, than have to re-listen to some of the 2-3 ... read more

Good way to get a big introduction to the works of Steve Reich.

Hyper pop just isn’t a genre I get. But I mean sure I see the value I guess. I also can’t rate an album highly that had me laughing the whole time. I know theres numerous elements added in to make the production stronger, it just still doesn’t personally click with me. Then again, I’m sure that as I continue listening to music, I’ll certainly find some albums within the hyper pop genre that I actually enjoy. I can confidently say however this isn’t gonna be ... read more

Basically just extremely light ambient music. Not enjoyable, yet certainly eerie and the perfect album to put on in a deeply claustrophobic and atmospheric horror film.

An album could have infinite potential, but little to no versatility, causing it to fall flat. A lot of dream pop ends up being like this, yet I’m pleasantly surprised to find that Bloom by Dream House is pretty versatile, especially within the main bulk of the album.

This nothing special, and definitely overrated by a general population, but I would by no means consider this anything less than a great album. The music is emotional, beautiful, and intimately detailed in the least ... read more

What a fantastic album, so fantastic, that you’ll notice its rated 10 by me😍😍😍

It may not be the best sounding shit I’ve heard, but this is like the most influential album of all time.
