They should change their name so as not to associate themselves with terrorists

Since you replaced the second word with somewhat antonymous one to create a "joke", you should've also changed the meaning of the first word...

I haven't quite settled on whether it's actually the #1, I personally have it competing with Cult of Luna, but holy hell that record isn't just really really good, it also comes with a metric fuckton of replay value. And they're actually touring Europe with Cult of Luna. What a time to be alive!

Last album sounds like the usual heated soup. The only cute thing is the title. Yawn.

The only yawn here is from taking the time to swing by a shoutbox just to publicly dismiss a new album after 1 listen. 🥱

Sure. You can have an opinion and you’re free to feel however you may like about the band or the album, yeah. Just know there’s a pretty huge difference between writing something like “New album is definitely Russian Circles for better or worse. Kind of wish they’d mix things up or evolve their sound a bit. Initial impressions are that this one isn’t for me but glad others are enjoying it” vs. “Band is out of ideas and this is mediocre as ever. Yawn.” (Which is, in itself, a very tired sentiment to share out.) All of this rings doubly true when a new album drops and you can see that there is some hype and warm reception going down. It’s just about reading a room and not being a wet blanket, I guess. Couldn’t tell you the number of times I thought an album was pretty mid or forgettable after the first listen or two, but held off on venting about it. I suppose I just don’t see the point, entirely.

The point is that sometimes i write things in a troll-ish way. You shouldn't take it so seriously. Anyway i said what i thought as a first impression. I apologize for the unhappy synthesis. I didn't want to offend anyone's feelings. 😬 I don't have any interest btw in encouraging fans to be happy about a new album. Everyone should judge by his/her experience. That's it.

Alright. But on the other side of that coin, I feel like my initial response had just as much “bruh I’m trolling, lighten up 🤷♂️“ energy. You’re more than welcome to be a stick in the mud – no one is going to prevent you from doing that – but I guess if it were me, I wouldn’t be surprised or defensive if someone had something to say about it.

fucking hell, if the first two songs are any indication of the rest of the album, this might actually be their best album to date, which is a crazy thing to think this far into their discog.

wholeheartedly disagree with the idea that is crazy a band would release their best work to date after years of being a established music outlet.

most of the bands I listen to, their best work to date usually it's their most recent and countless times over the years they even surpass that work, so this is what shocks me of your concept that is crazy a band/artist could deliver their best work after several years if not decades of releasing material.

I just read in the newspaper that Russians cancelled Memorial, but luckily the album is still on Spotify.

Blood Year is goodish. But it seems like Memorial part 3. Each of the last 3 records have had only 2 or 3 real stunners on them. The rest, a meandering parade of unfocused ideas that never develop. I still like Memorial, Guidance and Blood Year, but I can't say I'm not disappointed from one of my favorite instrumental bands.

Guidance is so consistent and has aged phenomenally. Better than Memorial and Blood Year if you ask me. Those 2 totally have their moments, but they also meander with tracks that seem to rely on Mike playing dissonant tremolo for way too long. I know there’s more to the band than just chugga riffs, but so many moments on Blood Year, especially, seem to dissolve into tremolo picking. Eventually it sort of feels like you’re just going through the motions.
