Opening track is average... nothing grabs me. killer bass tone.
Vocals suck. I can't understand half of what he is saying. If it were not for the killer bass this opening track would just be a wall of white noise.
Skipping to track 2 is not a good sign...
Ick... this is terrible. Track 2 is just ... words escape me it's that bad.
Let's try track 3 - Opens up with some promise. but it's a tried-and-true riff. Vocals kill it... it's very average.
It's decent for Black metal but it's sub par for the course. Nothing grabs me or stands out. I don't care to finish this album. Extremely derivative and mundane.

Solid metal. Great stories, clearly understandable lyrics, interesting tone choices.
Perfect. Vocals take a second to get used to but once you do its pure gold.
This should be on everyone's playlist

1 minute into the song... waiting for it to start, it never really does. It's a movie soundtrack base. It's a weird intro choice. Without context it's too long.
The second track takes a minute to kick in, but when it does it's just average. I kind of like it, it has a movie soundtrack quality. I don't like the vocals, but you can still understand what he is saying. So at least there is that... I just don't care for what he is saying.
This feels like Bro rock trying too hard to be Alpha males.
The vocals do not fit the music. This would have been really good with cleaner, decent vocals.
A lot of quality elements but when you put them all together it tastes off.
Third track is more of the same and I am good... I don't want to hear the full record.

Well... it's a record with sounds on it.
For this genre this is pretty good. Nice tones, good separation. Good mix. Vocals are ass.... but the screaming is for a reason, I guess.
I wouldn't revisit this or buy them but would not walk out on a show.
I could maybe listen to it while working or something. Nothing stands out, nothing special. No great riff or incredible solo. Just standard blast beats and metal guitars.
No clue what any song is about... I understood ZERO words.

Why have a band name if you are going to draw it to look like a rorschach test?
Opening is nice... sort of country ISH. Then ???? I don't know. It was just a wall of static noise. I can't make out any of the notes or even which instruments are involved. I hear a snare pop pop pop but no kick till a good halfway in.
I don't know what this is supposed to convey.
It's nothing. Like a can of stale air. No feeling, no emotions. White noise with a beat.
The vocals are trash. Like a little kid pretending to be a monster. (4 minutes in... why hasn't this ended? Looks - Oh 9 minutes... Of This? No thanks)
Do I even bother with trying a second track?
Not much better but at least I could hear the different instrumentation.
The acoustic stuff was nice.

Meh - Basic. Not a fan of the ton choices. Mix is fairly muddy, Angsty teens probably like it.
The problem with modern tech is that most anyone can cut a record and release it now. A good 20 years into it and we get flooded with mediocrity like this.
This would be much better with better ton choices and arranging. As it stands... Meh, decent, but not worth a second listen

When you order Metallica off WISH.
Holy crap this is bad.
The production value is horrid. Did they record this on a bread box in a warehouse?
This should be burned and banished from existence.

This band gets a lot of praise within my local music community.
I don't get it. I like it, it's decent - but super derivative. Nothing special of unique
I like some of the songs but nothing really GRABS me.
I don't find myself wanting to buy anything or see them live. Cool if they are on the bill but they are not why I bought the ticket.
This effort is par for the genre. Quality metal / doom, just too late in the game for me. I heard it a few hundred times already.

I don't understand this band name.
71 Ton Man? Spaces would help so much here.
Open is the average feedback intro used so much in this genre. I can't understand what he is saying so the vocals just become a distorted sound in the mix. Meh, it's ok. It's doom. Down tune your guitars and play below 90 BPM. Very formulaic. 4 minutes into the 9 plus minute opening track and I am very bored. If I could understand the vocals the story might carry me through but... no.
track 2 is still pretty average but a little better.
Sounds like most everyone else in this genre... I prefer the ones where I can understand what they are saying.
As far as doom goes this is pretty basic and average.

Noise. Opening song is jointed basic simplistic grade school stuff. Anyone with a computer can do this. Track 2 isn't much better. It could qualify as outsider music. I imagine someone might like it. Definitely not making many sales with it. Track 3 isn't any better. It's just noise done in a way most anyone with a modicum of musical ability can pull off. heck, you don't even really need much musical ability to make this type of stuff these days... sounds like a lot of automation being employed.
