Totally agree with both points here. After a week or two of listening I was still thinking that Grievances would remain bestest, but over time TWD&LWBI has surpassed it. And yes, better and better with each record. With Astraea and then Grievances I wasn’t sure how they’d top them, but they only went and did.

Now my reply looks a total non sequitur! (which, tbd, is par for the course on DiS)

Yup, I’d be pretty amazed if it’s not on my albums of the year, an absolute stomper of an album.

This album is great, listening to it AGAIN (like the 10th time in a week) I love how much ground it covers whilst never sounding like a collage ideas, it all sounds very cohesive and the songs are over in a flash despite their long running times.

IMO their best album, certainly their most ambitious and approachable.

Nah the bleeps were a bit silly. I think theyre maturing as a band in the right way . quite nice how Rolo seem like theyre becoming a big deal again

Just had a look at the listening trends for the band on last.fm, and for what it’s worth, they currently have more listeners than any other point between 2012 and now. By quite a large margin, good stuff :slight_smile: Especially as I imagine the site isn’t nearly as active as it used to be. It’s their most reviewed/rated album on rateyourmusic.com as well, by a large margin, so it deffo seem’s to be their most successful release to date in terms of getting attention and listeners.

Just find them a bit formulaic/dull now i guess.

They were excellent when I saw them last month and the stuff from this album sounded best - the way she can switch between the clean and screamed vocals is incredible. Also thought it was quite a sweet when brother and sister were both screaming away side by side.

Same. One of my favourite things they’ve ever done is the breakdown in this where it sounds like someone’s chucking a keyboard down the stairs

Anyone going to the Scala tonight? I’m very excited. I’ll be the one dressed like I’ve just come from work. What a nerd.

#25

I too will be dressed like I just came from work. Because I will have.

I should have packed a hardcore t-shirt, I’ll stand out enough just being old :smiley:

Very disappointed to be missing this one. Last two gigs at the Borderline and the Garage were so good.

Enjoy!

I fully intended to bring I change of clothes and I fully forgot. Maybe I will buy merch. Merch will save me.

You should definitely try and get down in time to watch Cassus, who you should definitely be listening to if you like heavy music.

Going to check these out… I know you don’t love the direction Rolo have gone in but you’ve put me onto a few goodies on the heavy thread so I trust these are worth a look

Probably not going to make them, but loving the album. Thanks :smiley:

If only I lived in (or around) that there London I’d be all over this. I live in Aberdeen ffs. Saw them last year (or maybe the year before, can’t mind) supporting FOTL in Glasgow and (for my money) they stole the show. Would be so so so up for seeing them on this album though. FUCKING SO UP FOR IT
