    Unfortunately, the biggest misses are at the heart of the album, as the over-long and manic “Pink Lunettes” is crazed from a bad drug trip or just 18 months cooped up, pin-balling around searching for meaning with grating lyrics. ... The finale recalls the opener with a swirling mix of electro, longing, and strings, pedal-affected guitars and keyboards, doing an admirable job recalling the best of Pink Floyd but skewed through a modern filter, bookending the shaky 9 on an exhilarating note.

    Too many of the songs fail to deliver the mind blowing moments that the band have been capable of in the past.

    Quite possibly the best album of 2021 and perhaps even Pond's best album yet. Packed to the brim with memorable hooks, lyrics, and musicalQuite possibly the best album of 2021 and perhaps even Pond's best album yet. Packed to the brim with memorable hooks, lyrics, and musical flourishes in an often-times fittingly grandeur way, all masterfully mixed and produced by the band itself. A slice of psych-pop/rock perfection. Full Review »
