Hmmm, I guess no one cares that the 6th album came out?
Or maybe everyone else had the same ho-hum reaction to it that I did. It's not bad, but just seems kind of there. And whoever mastered it should be punched as it sounds too loud and muddy. Ah well, I still have the first three albums and the fifth to keep me happy when I am in the mood for Blackfield.
It's....not awful. Like you, I still really enjoy their first few albums and V (which blew me out of the water), so I sort of had some high expectations of this one, but it seems like it was a bit of a let down for me, but like I said, it's not awful. Now, albums can be as long or as short as they like, but after all this time since V, Aviv didn't have a few more songs in him before putting out a new album? At just over half an hour, this must be the shortest new studio album I've gotten this year, four minutes shorter than the first McStine & Minnemann album (which I felt was a bit short, but they cranked out a second album just before the end of the year, so I can't be too upset at how short their debut was).
Also, if anyone else is familiar with The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, does anyone else hear the title track's piano motif inside "For The Music"? It's a sort of repeating pattern of two chords/notes that sounds AWFULLY similar to a part in the opening theme to BOTW. Is it just me?
