Update: I was probably a bit mean 50 ->60
This is another album in the wrong direction for a band which used to be a favourite of mine. Everything is samey throughout, and with boring production. The material is but trodden down dredges and more poorly executed than previous albums.
This might be worse than the golden casket which at least tried new things, but I'll give it another few listens to decide.

A reactionary rating, but there's zero need to rerecord this album ✨ NOW WITH NO SWEARING ✨ Go back to writing gay furry stuff and stop wasting your time Will.
I had a fantastic time with this. It's so moody and atmospheric, Chat Pile I think benefits from this gentler sound, and when they get heavier it feels earned. A big surprise.
I've waited for the true follow up to 2018's dead magic for so long. The vibe is different, a lot of experimentation, more personal and relatable lyrics. Some chill inducing moments. It's good, it'll just take me 3 more listens to decide how good.
I'm not a massive Parannoul fan, this is probably my fav from him, might grow on me more.
the lyrics are so earnest, the instinct is to lean away, don't. I'm so happy just to hear something with human emotion.
in might respond better to this another time. Psych/acid/drone/metal/jazz
No rating, I know nothing about SB anf I'm not big into trap. My first impression is this is repetitive and kinda boring.
This isn't my thing but I also knew that, I'll let her fans rate it.
