While I knew this album would likely be quite good due to the constant hype it has received for the past couple years, I had no idea what to expect but I was still shocked. This album is excellent, and Death and Romance and Vampire in the Corner especially stand out to me.
Although I prefer plastic death, this album is still excellent. Some of the tracks being slower instrumentals makes it so that I may not listen to them all individually like I do for plastic death, but I when looking at it from the perspective of a complete album I think they fit well. Glass Beach is easily one of the best songs that the band has ever made, and Cold Weather and Orchids are both incredible as well.
Whatever you do, don’t just judge this album by the first track. The later songs are all so much better, especially Goodbye My Strange No. 28. The vocals are a mixed bag throughout the songs, but the instrumentals are all incredible.
I have no idea how to even begin to describe this album. Every song has a completely different vibe but it still feels like a complete and cohesive package, and there are so many standout songs, especially deepfake and 5g. Please come back with more music Brakence, I need this.
