moonsorrow - jun whatever: yeah, this is pretty cool. halfway through the second track was a bit i really dug. not like that special but, enjoyable
headspace - atyfig: ehh. this doesn't feel like it even has the emotional potency of their first album, or at least not from the few tracks i listened to. dunno. probably will pass on this.
borknagar - winter thrice: this is okay. i dunno. i've heard enough proggy black metal by this point that this is just pretty unremarkable in comparison, at least on first listen, but it sounds alright enough at least. just not that compelling. i may need to take a break though since i also worry i might just be burnt out by this point, this and headspace were both fine and prob on the same level as mandroid but i'm more tired now so
