It's hard to get enveloped in a cocoon of sound like shoegaze is supposed to do to you if the sound is coming at you in one dimension like a brick wall

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah I see where you're coming from there. This album definitely goes head-on as opposed to engulfing you, but I honestly don't find an issue with getting lost in it. Idk maybe I'm just a sucker for Chino's voice. Yeah, most likely that.

Album Rating: 2.5

I honestly really wanted to like this, so I did give it a lot of chances. Guess I'll just go back to Deftones to hear more sexy Chino voice.



Wait, that doesn't sound like a bad thing at all

Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound Off

Yeah, this fell pretty short of what I was expecting and what the members were capable of making.

Album Rating: 3.0

this could be far better

Album Rating: 3.5

Not what I was entirely expecting first listen but it is a grower. The end of Tropics jams hard.

Album Rating: 2.5

would have been a 4 if it came out in 2001

This is a pretty generious 3.5

Tropics is easily the best song

Album Rating: 2.0

everything sounds terrible



the drummer should have left the mixing etc. to someone who can actually do it

Album Rating: 2.5

this sounds worse than most low budget demos

Album Rating: 2.0

I fail to see how this is post rock, but then again categorizing music is stupid in general. Sounds bad though, especially the singing is terrible.

Album Rating: 2.0

this sounds like a low budget demo trying to pass itself off as a studio-grade masterwork which makes it sound worse than most low budget demos

Album Rating: 2.5

I'm sorry, this does not sound like a demo. The production is weak, agreed, but seriously...

Album Rating: 3.5

This has its moments

Album Rating: 2.0

yeah you're right, it sounds like a demo with shitty compression/mixing and an obnoxious EQ spike

Album Rating: 2.5

That's better :]

I'm a fan of chino's voice, I just expected him to experiment more

The mixing is terrible

This review is great, but I have to disagree. While this album might not have the climaxes that ISIS possessed, songs fade off in such an unforgettable manner to me. Antarctic Handshake is one example of this. Not to mention I think Future Warrior is one of the better stand-alone songs I've heard in months. The guitar leads are entrancing.
