I was really worried I'd heard the end of this band. I'm so unbelievably stoked to hear new material!

Quality. 8/10.

Still repeating themselves from the first album. Makes me doubtful for the next release from another similar solid band, Slugdge.

Still solid band, Artificial brain. Good luck to them.

    Nice username.

    I feel like there's solid evolution going on here. Just enough to be fresh, but not so much that it feels like a curveball.

    What I personally want is more of what AB have already laid down with enough progression to keep things fresh. This feels like they're gonna hit the mark for me, personally.

    Thanks for the props, Arctopus used to be hated on back in the day, IDK what's going on with kids these days :)

    I guess we have different definitions on what we expect by the amount of innovation/evolution. After all, the last behold album had electronic drums, guitar synths and no amps/distortion pedals? And the one before that , cowbells and wood blocks, and I was fine with it.

    I mean, I kinda yearn for more skullgrid, and "you will be reincarnated as an imperial attack spaceturtle part 2", but I prefer them to grow as musicians and present me with new stuff. If I wanted to buy the same album 30 times, I'd be the world's biggest AC/DC fan.
