Thanks for the 100 followers!
I will and have been updating this review from time to time. I hope that at some point in the future, I will come to a point where I feel like my review is complete and doesn't need revision or addition, but with an album that deals with many of the issues and ideas I've been wrestling with for years, it's difficult to say in the middle if I will ever come to that point.
It’s always been more difficult for me to say why I like something then why I ... read more

After one of their most ambitious albums to date, Remember the Future, Nektar decides to go in the complete opposite direction and make their least ambitious and most accessible album with some radio rock songs. They're still pretty good, but I wouldn't be telling the truth if I didn't say I was super disappointed by this one.
A somewhat reimagining of a live album of what is, in my opinion, the most underrated act in their Acts series, with reworked vocals that move from their post-hardcore roots and more into the proggy sound they’d develop later (which I’m both for and against in equal parts). The vocals in this album in general are much softer, though they still maintain their stage-like quality and some of that post-hardcore sheen. People expecting a 1:1 live album may be disappointed, but that ... read more
Probably the best introduction to the band. A neat little EP with 2 of their best songs from their debut album (which are in turn remakes of songs from their debut EP) and a new track that’s just as good. I think personally I like the original EP version of Voodoo more, but the remake is still really good.
This aged surprisingly well. I remember hating it as a kid because of how much different the production was compared to the rest of their release, but pretty much every track on here is rock solid. The lyrics are kinda weak at some points, but the songs themselves are all extremely fun.
Probably the best cover of the bunch, but the least stand out record content wise. Many of the passages here take on a more rock n roll approach. A lot of the tracks on here are from their previous Christmas EP, though I think they’re slightly different versions, or maybe just don’t click the same way here? There is still some of the August Burns Red charm in there, but for the most part, it’s a lot lighter than most of their other stuff, including their previous Christmas ... read more

Hello Lem!!
It’s about that time I make another user-based list, so here’s the prompt:
If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be? It doesn’t need to be your favorite song, but one that you would personally choose to listen to with no other options.
Okay bye bye!!

Hi Lem, I just dropped my debut 8 minute EP. It's a blend of progressive house, ambient & power noise music. Feel free to listen to it if you're interested. Also I'm sorry if this is considered spam https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/693169-deadseraphin-deadseraphin.php
