There are some brilliant songs on this album, but as a whole it just leaves me feeling like something is missing. The heavy songs are definitely the ones that shine, with some of the lighter ones being good too but most of them not being my cup of tea.
Favourite songs: Bow Down, DOA, Gasoline
I really like this album. Windy have been one of my top bands for a while thanks to their last ep, Empire, but this really cements their position. It's fun and accessible while still being heavy. The vocals have a lot of range, and while a few songs might sound a bit similar there's a lot of variety within the album.
Fave songs: Trenches, Beautiful, Glow
I am the biggest sucker for violins in metal. This whole album takes a fairly typical but still really fun metalcore song and makes it something even grander by adding symphonic elements and especially a violin to it.
Pretty solid metal core album. Screams are very reminiscent of Northlane's Alien album. The shoe gaze elements used are a bit of a miss for me personally though, which bring my score down a bit.
