my god those 3 last songs are some of their best material

Problem. I want to relisten to this 1000x over but i dont think my ears can handle that

fastest 2 hours of my life btw omg

Pummeling destruction, Pure (drone)Evil. This album sounds like a monolithic incomprehensibly large tank slowly and brutally crawling over you over the 1h runtime.

Some of the best songs on this have the worst mixing, unfortunate

I really like the experimentation with more underground edm genres like riddim but its wayyyyyyyy too long. This album gets boring so fast since the 2nd half all feels like the same 2 songs over and over. all the songs being so short also makes this feel super all over the place with no real structure.

Even though this style of bluesy piano rock tends to bore me it was still a pleasant listen and important to help understand Tom's growth into the style i really like from him

Only my goat BLADEE would drop on a wednesday at 5pm 🔥🔥🙏

Much more abrasive and loud than the other two AoL albums until this point. It has its chill moments but generally the energy seems to be cranked up on this one. A positive change of pace!

Very mellow compared to what was to come but that was expected as they were just coming off of the biggest change of Swans' career after Swans are Dead. I wouldnt say the songs got boring, however the length of this album being 70 minutes would probably put anyone who doesnt immediately love the first couple tracks off. Luckily for me i love this dark folky style from Gira and AoL.

Michael Gira might be the best artist ever like how does he keep doing it

really fun and angry thrash metal however its not my preferred genre so im not expecting to relisten to it super often

For me this is one of those albums where the highs are HIGH but the lows just drag and dont do anything for me

placeholder for whenever the live album comes out, i went to the stockholm show and this set is undoubtably a clean 100/100

Beautiful and intimate

By stripping down back the dreamy guitars and synths and honing in on the cold spaced out drums they create a super dark and cold atmosphere. however what i like most about the cure is that dreamy sound they have so whenever i listen to this, apart from a handful of songs, i always feel like its missing something. like its too empty but maybe i just need some more time with it to fully get emersed in the soundscapes

no doubt my score will go up in the future

Some of the most accessible late era Tom Waits ive heard but its still late era Tom Waits so take that with a grain of salt.
Really nice songs on here, super weird and dark but this album seems to be quite warm and comfortable compared to something like bone machine or blood money

Really nice metal shit right here!!! Its like a blend of Black Sabbath's heaviness and Metallicas energy.

The boxset for this is super nice
90/100 for the music
