This Will Destroy You’s latest LP starts and finishes with flying colors, but it gets a little underwhelming in the middle for me. Hearing the band revisit old sounds, work with an odd drum mix, and working with similar structures throughout this album make me rethink my original love for some of the tracks here. In terms of structure, I’m really not wowed by this album.

Where I am incredibly impressed is with the textures here! The sounds are fantastic, and some of the best I’ve heard this year. They’re kind of a saving grace for this album. The guitars sound amazing, and the swells here are so subtle. Sure, this could be labeled as “post-rock” at some points, but This Will Destroy You are working with tools that just seem out of this world as several points on this album.

I’m kinda warm toward it, I suppose. I can’t see myself returning to this anytime soon, though.

    Review Three Trapped Tigers “Route One Or Die”. Just listen to the track “Cramm” and don’t love them i dare you! Their new album comes out may 30th i think, on blood and biscuit records (a part of the new pink mist gang) here is a link to the song
