Actually embarrassing how many of the high-rating reviews are "I don't actually like this, but I'm review-bombing it because I don't like the people who dislike it". This is why RYM deweights new accounts and people with lopsided rating systems and bans people who write nonsense reviews. Nobody even talking about the album so why should I?

Pro tip: make the most inarticulate, directionless and derivative "experimental rock" album with enough conviction that you're the best thing since sliced bread and people will eat it up

Drake could get sticky with me anytime

Makes Cavalcade look positively god-awful. I'm still not a fan exactly but at least they're having a bit of fun unlike that directionless vomit of tones where they took more care in developing random loudness shifts than having interesting riffs and motifs. Unfortunately, the only thing black midi do better than their "avant-prog" predecessors is being younger and better-looking.
