Compared to Hillsfar's later output, this one starts off in a slightly dronier/more ambient form, with fewer bells and whistles and more of a hypnotic synth base. And I really like that, I think 1 is a great opening track for this. Sure, some of the mixing on drums is a bit loud and intrusive to my taste, but it's not bad at all. What truly kills this album for me is the electric guitar sections. Whilst on 3 they work quite alright at just adding a gritty texture background as they are quite subtle (in spite of the mixing issues still), in 2 they are just really bad and have nothing to do there. They sound like some youtube boi wanted to make a metal cover of a neat DS song, rather than being integrated in the song. The 'riffs' come out of nowhere, aren't good in a vacuum, and are especially not good in hte context of the track. 4 comes back to the good sounds of 1 thankfully, but does feature guitars later too, at a cringe level between 2 and 3 but closer to 3. Not the Hillsfar record I'd recommend aside maybe from track 1. 2.4
