General Album Comments

Seanchan: I know the nominator mentioned it at the time, but I wasn't expecting a completely instrumental album! Was certainly enjoying this more than last week's (G-Darius soundtrack), though I suspect this will also be another difficult one to rank. I did a little bit of research and this album is a direct result of their vocalist quitting the band. I listened to a few songs from their prior albums and...yeah, the vocals weren't doing their sound much favor (IMO).

Johnbobb: I really dug this one but it's super hard to rank

HBJDubs: I enjoyed it, and it piqued my interest in checking out more of the band. No stand-out tracks, but everything is good, and I'll take those kind of albums any week.

NFUN: I love how much character this album has for something instrumental. The scattered vocal samples are a fantastic way to contextualize each song, while still allowing them to be ambiguous. It's a great vibe to have for an album themed around dreams. I also had a ton of trouble ranking it, because almost every song is tied at like an even 9. Incredible consistency and creativity

MaxGalactica: Yeah, this one was really difficult to rank. I liked pretty much everything here. Fantastic guitar work and rhythms throughout. Vice Wave was especially good. Great album.

TheArkOfTurus: I'm not going to get around to ranking this, but I will say I dug it a lot, and am very glad to have heard it thanks to this topic series.

Seanchan: I cannot stress enough I much I enjoyed this album but hated doing this ranking. This is an enormously arbitrary ranking that could have been very different an hour later.

FoolFantastic: I listened this morning but gave up on trying to rank anything after the first few tracks. I think I liked the album, but it also felt like I was going to just rank them in track order or something after a certain point.
