Now what I want from the band is full length. I want a quarter pounder with cheese to sink my teeth into, not just hors d'oeuvres.

Thank you kindly. :3
Also, in case people missed it in the review here's a link to a short interview where the band talks about the material they've released so far and also a small portion regarding the upcoming debut so we might get an idea of what to expect.

I was expecting more ass-kissing, but then I saw the scores .
No but seriously, great release. This one does feel more physical than Aura, you expressed something I had noticed but didn't put words on.

Yeah usually I can put my head on cold water when expressing myself with words. But with ratings I can get crazy if I love it too much.
Thanks though, while reading the interview I listened to both EPs on one good and realised the guys were right. there was a pretty clear difference in the approaches.

A very good review for a very good ep. well said

This "material that barely scratches an hour in total" that you mention gives me mixed feelings. On the one hand, like Joe said, I want to see more from these guys, both EPs are terrific but haven't quite sated my appetite. However, I'm not sure whether or not a full length would make the band lose that "less is more" type vibe or not. I'd like to think not. Anyway, great review and EP, it may be brief, but I'd rather be begging for more than begging for it to stop

Yeah great review for a fantastic ep.

I actually like this enough to give the previous EP another shot.

I dig the "Only Ep" approach, and tbh I can't remember if I've listened to the first one, so maybe I'll make a double header today.

Nah, that would be a stupid waste of opportunity. Their music clearly works for long formats as well as short. So a chance of a full length shouldn't be missed at all.
On that interview they talked about albums not being longer than 40 mins. I personally think that's a perfect length for their albums

So you've completed the conceptual pairing with the two EPs. Where does that leave you for the full-length you're working on now?

Quote:
We started writing new material over the last year or so. We write really slowly?well,I do. I like to give the material a lot of time to gestate and grow on its own terms, so it's important for me to start playing around with an idea and then put it on the backburner for however long until it rises of its own accord. The end result is usually a lot better that way. I don't like to force things. So we're working on a third song now. They're not all complete, but it's starting to take form. The intention is to make a not very long full-length. For me a perfect album length is like 40 minutes. We're not going to make an hour-long record. No way. It'll be around the six or seven song mark. And there will be an exciting cover in there as well.

Couldn't agree more.

^What they said.

The wait will be long. Better go play Dark Souls 2.

Funny thing is that 'Hero' is 46 minutes

That's one more thing they left me down on.

That's how long most albums should be. IMO An album shouldn't be longer than an hour and a half. But, it really doesn't matter, as long as the music is great.
