It's not like he insults people that likes what he doesn't like. At least I don't remember seeing it. Plus Ronnie Radke is suing him. Seems like Ronnie got a good bit of fans on his side as well as people that hate Fantano
we often have differences in opinion, but I've always found his reviews to be intelligent, articulate, and well-supported, so I respect him as a professional and I find his opinions worth listening to even if I don't share them.
I wasn't aware that too many of them did, although I suppose that makes sense. People are often quick to disagree vehemently with someone who doesn't like a thing they like. I've watched Fantano only casually over the years and
Very excited to see where these guys go after Varahtelija and the Waste Of Space collab. They've been getting a lot jammier and bouncier lately and hopefully this continues in that vein.

Loved the album as a whole. Incredible use of the keys. It does sets it apart from the rest of their discography.
Unfortunately I really did not see the point of the last track. I felt it didn't add that much to the table as it went against what they were doing on the rest of the album. I can see how that makes it a great finish to balance things off but I just thought it was too cacophonic and repetitive for its' own good.

I love the synths here. There's some bounciness still left, but a lot of it is more atmospheric, which I'm not sure what to think about. Wish it was catchier overall, but it's a good record.

Totally agree, keys were a major highlight here, particularly on tracks 1 and 5, but not particularly fond of the closing song.
Pretty much exactly what I was looking for, goes off the Varahtelija/Waste Of Space Orchestra sound but still distinct enough to be its own thing. I definitely didn't like the last track as much as the others but I dig it, usually their albums end on a really spacey/abstract note so that's an interesting change having the last track basically be the heaviest.

Holy fuck this album is great. But yeah... I think the last song is easily the weakest, although it's not bad. It's just an odd choice with which to end the album.
Yeah this had the #1 slot in our 10 for a brief moment yesterday. Nice to dream but I don't think it's gonna even stay in the top 10 for a week as it's not some form of melodic extreme metal or gothic metal.

Great album, but still going to clutch "Valonielu" and my fav "Värähtelijä" close to my heart. Those two appealed me more on psychedelic infusion and atmospheric basis than it did here.
Good album, spacy vibes, tracks 3 and 5 are my favourites. The only negative that I can really think of is that the vocalist at times sounds like he is coughing up a hairball.
