Rated 4/10

I thought this band was a one hit wonder. It starts with said hit which makes the album seem promising, but after a few songs it develops into pretty forgettable synthpop, with a mild hint of post punk/new wave. It's a shame because the good songs on here are really good, but the majority of the album feels like filler.

Was that some fucking black metal/blackgaze in one of the tracks? That brought my attention back to the album.

Should it be on the main list: No

Top 3 songs: Seasons (Waiting on You), Spirit, Fall From Grace

Rated 8/10

This really brings me back to the time period right around the end of my time at college. Very melancholic vibes at points while still being optimistic for the future. It's very catchy and his unique voice really complements the instrumentals.
