you know what I appreciate?
not giving a fuck about what kind of album you're supposed to be.
this is METAL, legit scandinavian and packed with screaming and tripletime drums and raging guitars and thumpathumpathumpathumpa RAAAGH
but then, through the storm, again and again, a fistful of GODLIGHT, that thing where you just get those fucking //streaks// of light // down // through // the // clouds //
just these searing guitar lines that cut through your heart, these spots where the stars line up, and where all that noise turns into a bird-shaped spaceship and takes you away.
it's impossible to avoid comparison to Fucked Up, who traffic in the same kind of screamy // pristine guitar work, and who, fucking -- well, listen to 1985 and tell me that's not a secret Fucked Up cover.
and every song swings from rough fuckin riffage to full on Boston//Journey sheen and everything in between without a flinch. And fuckit, the latters right fucking enjoyable, so swing hard at it you crazy Norwegian metal gods.
This is how you do not giving a fuck right - not even giving a fuck about how you're supposed to not give a fuck 4/5
