3.5 greatBedex | October 28th 21

An album that is quite good at doing what it does, ie. being mild and inoffensive but in a very pretty way. The drumming is most praiseworthy here, as it is the main driver of interests in the songs that do stand out. The middle of the album is the best crafted, especially 4 which has an excellent and inspiring intro with a much more poppy side than anything else here, whilst 5 is a rare example of a sad piano song that I actually enjoyed, and 6 whilst being not as cool as 4 does have lots of ideas and feels like an English Sigur Ros wannabee being relatively successful at that. In comparison, 7 is quite a dull ballad. 8-9 are quite good example of how the drumming saves tracks, as both starts on a very nice but ultimately generic post-rock guitar tone but do gain a lot of interest as soon as the drumming comes on. That being said the vox are nice and pretty throughout, though there are times in the album when I wish they would be a little more intense. The first three tracks are also quite generic post-rock with vocals and susprisingly abrasive explosions (with slightly difficult prod), that works quite well in the opening but thereafter gets old quickly - the album really gets a second chance with 4. Not really an album i'd seek again but i really wouldnt hate listening back to it if I didnt know what to put on. 3.5
