 If once Godspeed was a force of nature, today they seem like a twig in the midst of the waves.

 This title, in its naivety, unfortunately fails to have enough weight to not seem out of phase with the reality of the group and, ultimately, the world.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s new album introduces some experimental sounds and a more open production style, signaling a possible new direction. However, it suffers from a lack of strong compositional focus and coherence compared to their earlier masterpieces. While politically charged in title and intent, the music often fails to convey the intended gravity. Fans may find some moments interesting, but newcomers might be left unimpressed. Explore the evolution of Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s sound — listen to the album and decide if it marks a new era.

 Do Make Say Think are not just that kind of post-rock, a label that would be too narrow for them.

 If I had to express the “vibes” of the album in one word it would be “lightness,” because in its compositional complexity, sometimes you almost feel like floating on the melodies intertwining with each other.

 Four pieces spread over thirteen melancholic minutes. Everyone imagines them as they wish; mine are gray, with profiles of buildings swallowed by smog.

 I don’t know if it has real artistic value, but they are thirteen minutes that work.

Highly recommended for listeners who appreciate a blend of old and new in prog music. Listen to 'Take it Back' and experience a fresh progressive rock journey blending past and present!

 It really struck me with its atmospheres. Relaxing, yet at the same time complex with refined arrangements.

 The next opening is worthy of the best prog groups but stripped down, without frills.

Basset Band's 'Hills' is a compelling single from a one man band featuring relaxing yet intricate arrangements. The track combines accelerated piano arpeggios, organ, harmonica melodies, and guitar harmonies to create a stripped-down progressive rock feel. The composition is praised for its sonic texture and elegant progression. The reviewer appreciates its blend of complexity and atmosphere. Listen to Basset Band's 'Hills' and experience a unique blend of relaxing and complex prog soundscapes.
