Please listen again! I've seen so many polarizing aspects of this album, people utterly hating on it because they added a lot of melody and post-rock kinda stuff to it. However, I thank that demonstrates it to be their most mature, accomplished record yet. I know many people who think New Bermuda is the best thing ever, but I feel within that record you can hear the disconnect and unhealthy place that the band was in - they were rushed, trying to follow up Sunbather (no fucking thank you to being in that position!) and it's not a bad record, but this record feels so much more together and focused. You can tell the band is in a good spot, rather than under the gun and stressed out. The new bass player helps a lot too, the bass playing on OCHL is fucking fantastic. My only gripe is the Chelsea Wolfe track... it just feels kind of unfinished. If they had interludes that faded out from Glint and into Worthless Animal I think it would have been more well-received. But the silence makes it stand out in an unartistic way for me. poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to like it so much but on vinyl, I just can't take the sound of the production, chiefly the drums. Are you somebody who loves New Bermuda?

I dig the change in sound, it's boring to just repeat previous sounds (I like New Bermuda, it doesn't sound at all like they were doing Sunbather 2, it's it's own thing). This album is simply not interesting. We'll see if a second listen brings out anything else for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwaysopenmouth Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Great album but not as consistently listenable as Sunbather. I listened to that album multiple times a week for about a year upon release. Also the CODY cover is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My faith in this thread is slowly being restored. If I didn’t overplay Honeycomb and Canary Yellow so much, leading up to the album, I think OCHL would still be rocking my socks. After getting ample mileage out of it over the summer, and seeing the band live, I’m on a bit of a Deafheaven breather at the moment... but there’s no way this record doesn’t crack my top 10 for the year. At the end of the day, yeah, it sure is a whole different animal than Sunbather... but I celebrate that, personally. Night People is still kind of whack though.

tetsuodaironman Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Album is def top 5 of the year for me and, personally, it MAY be DH's best work to date. It's just uncanny how good these guys keep elevating the emotive elements of their compositions. And it's pretty amazing how great their songs translate live because not only are they just as good as the recorded tracks, but the raw energy heightens everything about said tracks!

daegor Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm legitimately curious as to the disparaging opinions on this album. They've done something right if we're talking about it this much. It feels like it's more than a simple "I like this" vs "I don't". They've hit some sort of cord that resonates with people, both positively and negatively. I know I got some knee-jerk reactions where points of the album reminded me of being a teenager in church and the stereotypical musical cords that are used again and again and again and again in order to evoke an almost Pavlovian emotional response. It's very possible this is a main point of detraction for me. And I wonder if for those of you less overexposed to it if it is a point of attraction.

It's very possible this is a main point of detraction for me. And I wonder if for those of you less overexposed to it if it is a point of attraction. It seems that the people hate on the album because it's very bright, emotionally-speaking. There's a LOT of major chords. It's happy. It's well-adjusted Deafheaven. The people that dislike this album seem to like New Bermuda and Roads to Judah the most, which just speaks to style preference. However, that is bewildering to me because Deafheaven has never lost the aggressive side of their compositions. Canary Yellow is like 12 minutes of onslaught. I think people want them to be more like Wolves in the Throne Room rather than contemporary Alcest. This was something I was thinking about last week when I was listening to again, because i was worried that they may get to a point where the blastbeats go away and I hope that never happens. Some metal bands grow and change A LOT (see In Flames, Hammerfall, Isis) and while I ***love*** tracks like "You Without End" and "Near" I don't want that to be the only thing they do. Overall, I do think this may be Deafheaven's best work; it's just so well-written, and so robust, compositionally. Which is very weird to say and think because Sunbather is such a towering achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Liked these guys better when I didn’t hear them on the radio between Ariana Grande and Travis Scott songs.

Gumbo72203 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Apparently this album has accomplished it's goal because every time I finish it, I always feel like "Fuck.... that's it? It's so short!" but it's like over an hour long haha. I need like, 1 or 2 more "metal" songs from them on this. But better to be left wanting more, unless you're Ancestors and their new album, where you make brilliant music but your album is only fucking 38 minutes long. That is some bullshit.
