It was ok. I’ve listened to other work from the Crusaders and liked it more, however this had a pleasing vibe.

First of all, the first song of the first album and the name of the band all share the same name. Confidence. At the 4:40 mark of the song “Black Sabbath” the riff-pattern that Coheed and Cambria has written many songs with emerges and is truly exciting, followed by a ripping solo. I love Sabbath, but I didn’t love the harmonica sound levels on the second song. I wish this had been a longer album.

What a blueprint for so many bands.

So many hits. Such a good vibe.

This is really a 3.5 stars. Some super-fun prog. Some less-fun meandering, though still interesting.

Smooth like a creamy peanut butter

🔥

Honestly, 4.5. I really loved it

Her voice alone is a 6/5. Honestly insanely awesome singing. Some of the songs I thought were ok, some killer.

I mean, come on.

This was cool. Big time Stereolab vibes.

So many foundational tones for the emo starter pack

Yum yum smooth

Ok neat stuff

♥️. I spent several months listening to a live version of “slow fast hazel” basically on repeat.

Good growl

The distortion on the first song gave me a headache.

Guitar tone is so strong. Guitar solo on “savoir fare” had me thinking about the drum solo on “Aja:” I didn’t want it to end.

Eddie was always right about this one.

Always good

Hard to handle

Holy moly this was a bonkers-good

magical

Classic
