Headache is probably my favorite slowcore song I've ever heard. Truly incredible.

Grouper's sound is so distinct, I find it very impressive that every song feels so similar but so new and organic at the same time. This album is great. I loved Alien Observer, so I guess it makes sense that I love this one too. Atone is just incredible.
Favorites: Atone, A Lie
Honorable Mentions: Wind Return, Dragging the Streets (First Heart Tone)
My love for the singles is keeping me from rating this album any lower than I am, but also any higher than I am. I have nothing against what is being done on this project, I just feel as if the only tracks that really stood out to me as expectation exceeding were the ones I've already heard.
Favorites: Zig Zag, Double Trio 2, GGG

I love the rage and power noise genre fusion. No clue what the hell he's saying but the energy is there and I gotta respect it. As much as I didn't want to give the album a full listen, I did. Didn't like the features. Realistically only walking away with one of two songs.
Favorites: Roc, Meat
Honorable Mentions: Shoot @U, oMg, Let's go home
Insane carry from Blue Nudes (I-IV), not to say the other tracks are bad but that one is just SO so good in my opinion like top tier dreamy stuff right there.
Favorites: Love's Refrain, Blue Nudes (I-IV)

has very captivating passages and high quality instrumentation. very very well made, i unfortunately was not a fan of the last track but nearly flawless besides that.
