Professional word sayer saying words over instruments going BWOHHH for 40 minutes. Blends together so much that I didn't even notice when the album ended and Spotify started autoplaying other stuff from this band. In the 2010s, there were roughly 3 dark brooding post-punk bands per capita. These guys, Squid, Women, Iceage, Fontaines, Savages, list goes on. Every now and then somebody interesting breaks the mold, like BCNR putting a trillion horn instruments into every song, or Viagra Boys singing about having sex with my mother. This ain't it though.

No, sorry. I think the Apple Music review put me off, it was so pretentious.

Post-punk, art punk, noise rock. Rollo. Un 2.

Fourth studio album anyone? Seems like someone else was paying attention! It's a pretty decent album, but some of the instruments are off for me. Just different. Some in a not so good kind of way. Very heavy. Ultimately difficult to listen to again.

Kind of a beat poet/rap delivery over generally interesting/mini-wall of noise alt rock instrumentation. The lyrical delivery is uninteresting, and there’s nothing particularly engaging or catchy with the music either. It is different but not particularly great. Kind of aimless. There’s nothing that is a major turnoff, it just gets old after 20 minutes.

2017 post punk with gloomy vocals. Rating: 1.5 Playlist track: Caitriona Date listened: 04/10/24

I wasn’t really impressed by

I persevered through the first two unattractive and unappealing songs to My Children which lifted my ears and reminded me a lot of Joy Division. However, I it's all a bit mumbly and quite similar.

Meh, post-punk crud. Does this stuff pride itself on all sounding identical? 2/5.

Not much of my taste

More post punk. No thanks, I listened to three years of this mediocre forgettable stuff.

3/10. Sounded like Nick Cave, but a little less harsh. Almost fell asleep in my chair 2-3 times trying to listen to this. Definitely not my thing

I like a good post-punk album, but this was a bit too raw and abrasive for me.

Felt like Proto Tom Waits

The singer ruins this

This whole album sounds like something made by a 2007 edgelord who just discovered garageband on his macbook.
