Was this good?
compared to what?
generally speaking, no
Too many piano fadeouts.
Literally a caricature of their p4k acclaimed selves
First two tracks were phenomenal, especially Luna which might be the best song they've done. The rest was mediocre and forgettable. not nearly as good and consistent as Sunbather.
"no"
Only Luna

This album is what black metal fags wished Sunbather sounded like. Indie metal bullshit for apple commercials
I liked it. Different direction but still same shit. Played and liked Sunbather more if that helps.
I enjoyed it. Gifts For The Earth is a fantastic song.

>apple commercials
>>63469012
Sunbather was used in an apple commercial
It was metalcore with shoegaze, fucking breakdowns man. Also that one intro sounds exactly like gy!be.
>>63469035
wtf no way
>>63469035
lmao really?
Yes, it's great
no this was shitty even for blackgaze standards

I love those fry screams at the start over the clean instrumentation. Really nice contrast. Clarke's vocal style really improved from Sunbather and I think the album was overall well made. Baby Blue was probably the only weak song on the album but then again it had a great ending too.
I can't say if I prefer it over Sunbather or the other way around. Depends on the mood but both are equally great albums, but in different aspects.

what is with this resurgence in writing off entire genres on /mu/ lately isn't that like exactly what we're against
>>63469179
We're getting migrants from the cancer FB group that totally fuck this board up as the group continues to grow.

Blackgaze is like race mixing, it removes everything that's good about 2 genres to make a new shitty one

Have you even listened to New Bermuda? It's black metal with post-rock influences, there are some slight shoegaze-y tones or such but nothing apart from that literally makes it "blackgaze"
>>63469044
>It was metalcore with shoegaze
What? If most metalcore were as dynamic as this album, that would be a compliment by any measure. Also, I don't think you know what a breakdown is.
Indiefags are just butthurt that this release was less digestible and showed more of its metal pedigree compared to Sunbather.
>>63469044
What? Do you actually know what metalcore is or are you just throwing around buzzwords?
>>63469245
>It's black metal with post-rock influences
That's equally garbage
>>63469262
>HURR DURR MUH PUER BLACK METAL \M/ \M/ SATAN FORBID SOMEONE TRY TO DO SOMETHING SLIGHTLY DIFFERENY
This is literally the only good thing theyve ever done
>>63469262
How? It's a great genre mix, and the best one that has emerged in a while for several reasons. Black metal has always relied on atmosphere and tension and the post-rock mix just add up to those aspects. Deafheaven especially pull that combo off really well
>>63469110
I totally agree with you
>>63469276
t. contrarian
>>63469284
no, its my fucking opinion. I have sunbather on vinyl too, and its just fucking boring
>>63469295(You)
Why would you get a vinyl of an album you don't like lmao
>>63469276
Deafheaven have great album art for everything
>>63469302
every faggot on here was raving about it. I saw it for $15 and thought it might be good. At least you guys were right about In The Wake of Poseidon

ITWOP has two of KC's worst songs, it isn't close to good. It's average at best
>>63469295
i have that demo vinyl too, also my favorite
the art looks cool as fuck but its so dark you can't really see shit
>>63469371
>>63469382
yeah its dark asf
Sun bat her WOULD be good if it wasnt so long. Just take the good songs and make it a single LP instead of a double album and there ya go. Although I will say that the demo album was a little bit too short

Only because it's shitting up good post-rock with repetitive, spastic drumming, enough tremolo picking to last a lifetime, and meme vocals, right?
>>63469422
god this describes deafheaven to a tee
>>63469422
Deafheaven aren't good post-rock by any means, they just do crescendocore
Their best work to date. My AOTY 2015

Nearly all the post-rock that gets memed here is fucking crescendocore. For shit's sake, if the new Explosions album that leaked had been passed off as a new GY!BE album, most people here would be cumming buckets and you know it.
Vocal-less Post-metal (Russian Circles, Pelican) and Post-rock have always struggled to build direction and resolution in their music. Rather than fully adopting classical, instrumental formats that would allow this to occur organically, they attempt to continually shoehorn their compositions into relatively short pop structures that, lacking lyrics, demand meme elements like crescendos to artificially force structure and resolution of clunky musical ideas.

>>63469562
Hey right back at cha, bud. Not sure what level your reading comprehension is at, but I'm actually not to big a fan of either Explosions or GY!BE. In >>63469554, I explain why. Might want to take another look, champ.
