I haven’t listened to much of this band’s previous stuff but decided to check this one out and… it’s quite frustrating lol. Like the opening 2 tracks are some of the best post-hardcore songs I’ve heard all year but then the album just kinda falls apart. Has some redeeming moments here and there - I actually quite like Beware the Centrist - but otherwise I agree with your point about its inconsistency.
great review, pretty much sums up my thoughts. have listened to it a bunch of times and not feeling it as much as the highs make me feel like i should, but yea it is just crazy inconsistent really!
This album is growing a bit, but agreed it’s not nearly as impactful as I’ve found their past albums. Dissolving is the high point here for me and doesn’t match the faux aggression seen in the rest of the album.
