I never had friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?

Upon first listen, I'd give it a 7/10.
Better than Everything Now, for sure.

It grew on me exponentially my second listen. Curious if that’ll happen with you too. I like the musical themes throughout. Touched on some past themes from their previous legendary albums, whilst mixing in some more modern alt rock themes, sans the intense abstract stuff, for the most part. Lyrically, solid, some beautiful lines of course, but through and through not as legendary in that regard as previous albums. Much better than the previous 2 albums IMO.Upon first listen, I'd give it a 7/10.

End of the Empire 1-3 is so good. Both Lightning songs as well. Well timed with current events.

Definitely feels like a return to form. I appreciate that. Still need to sit with this one some more. Get into the lyrics more.
Not sure they can ever top their first 3 after 20 years as a band. Not many bands could. Not many at all.

Pedrinho Cerrainho thinks it’s ‘good not great’.
What more of an endorsement do you need?

I guess they get penalized by their previous legendary outputs, but this album is excellent. Loving it.

It’s a damn good album. Growing on me with each listen.
Sweet spot of the album is Lightning I - WE.
End of the Empire is great, but not something I want to listen to without being in a certain mood. Anxiety is a solid start to the album but the tech-disco in part II (Rabbit Hole) struck to my PTSD from the previous album.
