I take that back Salem Sisters and Two Horses are amazing. I get the Reinassance comparison now.

Two Horses and Nancy Tries were quite pleasant, but dear lord the rest is some tortuous twee

I think my issue with the new one is that there's absolutely no room for instruments to breathe, they're singing the ENTIRE time, it's honestly impressive how no one called it out.

It's a shame though, some passages are really good, and the singers obviously can sing, but it's just too much all the time.

Honestly, without the BCNR stamp if this was a new band releasing the new album it would have a 3.2-3.4 average and it would just get lost in the release cycle.

It’s a funny release from a ‘HUGE BAND’



As much as I thought the Isaac chap mostly sounded like a nauseating twerp doing a bad Oberst he did give the band the initial ear catching element, the contemporary ‘edge’ entry point for the keeds
