In comparison to their later output, this record only really nails the oppressive atmosphere, nothing more, nothing less.

The whole point of this band is the atmosphere, but they temporarily lost here on here. An almost enjoyable record, but it feels underwhelming compared to their other records.

Drums and Atmosphere are simply amazing! I know its part of the drill but I feel this would benefit even more with a bit more power on the guitars.

Cavernous; pensive; haunting. Disregard the bullshit comparative attitudes typical of critic communities - "x isn't y, therefor it's trash". Indulgent drone and bloat remain present across nearly all of this group's work, but the sheer massive scope of this four-track's opener and closer stun me every time (and yes, I adore the Keening in "When The Sun Drowns In The Ocean"). Johnny King is an absolutely phenomenal (minimalistic) drummer. "All Life Converges To Some Center" is one of my favourite songs of all time. - 4.5/5

I have only a couple problems with this album. The first problem is that a lot of the guitar riffs sound grounded which hurts the atmosphere of the songs. The second problem is that the transition between some riffs are sloppy and there are split seconds where it is obvious the guitarist is having trouble switching between chords. Aside from those two little issues the album is still gorgeous! The drumming has improved drastically, the atmosphere is still deep and riddled with sorrowful darkness, and there isn't a single uninteresting riff or moment throughout the entire album!

DarkNoctus fapped all over their last album (and rightfully so), but if he doesn't really care for this then I'm going to just stay away.

The problem with Mammal is the fact they made it sound so impersonal and sterile which makes it incredibly difficult to get sucked into, where their previous records sounded as if they put everything into it. Mammal is nearly faceless in comparison to their previous efforts. Not to mention the mind-numbingly boring drumming which makes the whole thing beyond tiring to get through.
