    For the most part, This Will Destroy You finds its footing on the slow burn, crawling along at a snail’s pace, rarely straying from an established formula (quiet, brooding intro, slow build/hard dynamic shift half to three quarters of the way through, louder still) that, over the course of a whole album, can be somewhat draining.

    All the standard atmospheric touchstones get brushed aside here in favour of a deeper, more meditative experience. [20 Sep 2014, p.53]

    At times it's quite boring, but at times it's very good.

I said that. Now, this album set a new direction for them it seems...a super-insomnia experimental phase. Is hard to listen if you are driving or at bed, i find my self lost trying to get a grip to some chord to not fall asleep. I guess i was expecting more melancholy and surprising songs than noisy endless experimental sounds. Full Review »
