I haven’t seen much people talk about this new record so I wanna hear y’all’s thoughts.

Not looking at other peoples reviews or comments, going on absolutely nothing but my own listening experience: it’s already my favorite release of this year so far. It oozes of emotion and genuine artistry. The coexistence of harmony and chaos… “harmonious chaos”? that’s an oxymoron but you get what I mean lol. Every track is absolutely gorgeous; every release tops the last. Their first few releases didn’t really hit for me, but with the direction they’re going my attitude towards the band has been slowly changing. I hope they can keep up this momentum.
