Some of Beartooth's highest highs, and also some of their lowest lows. Genuinely such a mixed bag of a record. While I'm not opposed to bands picking up a lighter, more upbeat sound, I'm not quite sure if this was the right direction to go in. Some tracks really stand out (Riptide, Sunshine!), and others on this album really don't land.
Track Scores:
1. The Surface (7/10)
2. Riptide (10/10)
3. Doubt Me (6/10)
4. The Better Me (w/ HARDY) (2/10)
5. Might Love Myself (8/10)

Just honestly amazing.
Beautifully completes the game it’s made for, in every way. It’s haunting, atmospheric, and beautiful at times.

Pretty solid stuff all around. On first listen, this album was kind of disappointing, but it grew on me.

Overall tho, pretty solid for a first LP. A solid 8/10.
Also for an outro track “Afterwards -Postlude-“ is really ... read more
This album is good, but kind of stupid at the same time.
Like, okay. It has ten songs. Two of those are intro and outro tracks, one is an extension, three are remixes, and ONE IS LITERALLY JUST AN OLD SONG. Like what?? The song “Horizon” is really good, but is straight up just from Tanchiky’s old Album Redout. Its inclusion here is honestly baffling. Overall, nothing here is bad though. The extension and remix of “411Ψ892” is quite good, and the remixes of ... read more
Both artists kinda popped off with this one. While it doesn’t seem like either stepped out of there comfort zone, it’s still some good stuff. The collaboration tracks are certainly the highlight, with the t+pazolite feature being one of the best tracks. While the gram songs do sound rather same-y, it’s still some pretty good stuff. Eden Re::Birth and Knights of the Round Table being some of Gram’s best songs to date. DJ Myosuke and his track SuM= also shines especially ... read more
