    It's a record that goes deep, slow and pensive at times, but then quickly gears up into its natural beast, staying in this state and allowing you to bask in its chaos.

    The album proves to be worth the five-year wait, doubling as an obvious entry point to the band’s catalog. By forming a smooth mix rather than a bumpy exchange of influences, Envy prove they can paint with any color.

    Throughout, shimmering walls of guitar give way to echoing, spacey psychedelia; riffery and frantic drumming; tuneful asides and emotional rampage.

    Even with its relatively brief running time (44 minutes), Atheist's Cornea is an exhausting, exhilarating listen.

    Atheist's Cornea fares best when shooting for extremes. [Sep 2015, p.73]

    Atheist's Cornea maintains an urgency that’s palpable even for those who don’t speak Fukagawa’s native language.

    This is a record that feels alarmingly lacking in purpose from a band whose glory days are now a good decade behind them. This one is for completists only.
