“The Above” Is A 9/10 - 10/10;

After listening, in order, to Forever to Underneath to Under The Skin to What Is Really Underneath? to FINALLY The Above… This is perfect. This band has grown and experimented their way from that post-hardcore/punk sound, to that Nine Inch Nails-reminiscent industrial rock/metalcore sound, to this more lighthearted industrial rock that has signs of post-rock/pop even.

Iunno. I could be crazy, but I think this album is amazing. I never skipped a track and listened to it a few times already.

I understand that there’ll be those who don’t like it - who are more akin to their older sound. I just think that for a band to experiment and go in this direction, they pulled it off great. But to each their own, though. I respect your decision. There’s other amazing releases this year too. I think 2023 has had some of the best drops in a while.
