Lifelover – Promo 2005 (2005)

April 22, 2023

A bit of a non-starter, if I’m honest. The tracks take a very, very long time to get moving (I know this is the point), but when they do start doing something (the odd melodic riff echoing away in the background over the droning ambience), then it sounds pretty good. The only problem is that we have to listen to an absolute ton of go-nowhere ambience before reaching that point.

I don’t dislike this because it is different from the rest of the discography, I dislike it because it’s not very good. It gets a 3 because it makes an awesome racket when it wants to, but the pauses in between are not worth it.
