    Had the pleasure of seeing them live a few months back, beyond excellent, they are going to do something special one day. However, the album is just a bit too mid-tempo to really live up to the hype. However, there’s so much potential on show here I can’t help be excited for whatever comes next. The World’s Biggest Paving Slab goes so, so hard.

    @oh_banana 10 дней назад

    Sometimes, like on World's Biggest, there's something about the engineering that leads to the guitars and sounds in general on this record lacking an edge and blending together into a nondescript jumble of noise, not nearly as pleasant as shoegaze records like the recent feeble little horse album, but still hard and I'll admit this is still a great record and I enjoyed it most of the time. It's sometimes giving BC,NR, like Broken Biscuits could've flat out been on Live at Bush Hall between the instrumental movements and the vocal switches from singing to deadpan. But their range to also pull off something more aggressive seemed good too. They're clearly very capable and I look forward to more, the engineering was just a huge snag that held back this record's best songs for me.
