Two US-based screamo and post-rock bands collaborate to deliver a truly stellar dual album. Reviewing such albums is often challenging due to the inherent separation in the creative process between two distinct bands or artists. However, the seamless interplay between the two groups on each track creates a cohesive experience, as if they united to produce a singular, unified album. From start to finish, the relentless screamo energy persists, enhanced by the ethereal use of post-rock instrumentals at strategic moments. It undeniably stands as a robust screamo record for the year. My primary critique lies in the production, which can feel a bit dense at times, particularly when attempting to amplify the bass beyond its natural capacity.
