Beautiful

Lol anyone else seeing here a Novelists video instead of Deafheaven

Gave the album a listen through, first of many. This is solid.

You linked your playlist instead of the individual video. I will now go through it and judge you.

Started listening to it but didn't really feel any kind of "hook" so gonna have to come back later.

Damn, this album fucking RULES.

Probably the best album they've put out (in my opinion) and a high-water mark when it comes to black metal. It very much feels like a Deafheaven album, but it's a more cohesive fusion of all of the elements they've been exploring over the years. It's less of the "here's a shoegaze song" and "here's a black metal song" of their previous albums. And it's a great album experience. The slow songs give way to the more urgent songs in a very satisfying way.

It's also quite metal-leaning, so it should please the purists.

Way better than I was anticipating, best thing they've done since Sunbather. Thoroughly impressed.

Great album. I would've liked to see another album of them exploring the Infinite Granite sound a bit more since I really dug it, but this is so fucking good. Best since Sunbather.

deafheaven has riffs

I think this is their best record so far - they learned to be a little bit more concise on Infinite Granite, and I think it made all these songs hit harder/better for it. Will have to catch them on this tour.

Damn, ok folks. Was gonna' pass on this, but the last three reviews convinced me to spin it tomorrow.

I really like some of the songs but so far having a tough time "getting" the album as a whole. I think they could have cut one or two songs for the whole thing to feel more concise. It's weird cause it's a similar run length to most of their records and they are my favourite band! Just can't quite put my finger on it.

utterly fantastic album - they're so back (since Sunbather)

also a great live band to see if you have the chance

the typeface on their new logo is very nicely done
