I'll admit I had kind of forgotten about this band until this album came up on shuffle but was hit like a punch in the gut by the singer, Kristine Leschper's, voice. The emotional weight her voice carries is just unreal—so much longing, so much heart break, so close to breaking. Unambiguously, it is the driving force of this album but the orchestration around it suits it perfectly. The strings, the gentle snare, the reverb-y guitars punctuate as needed and then fade back. Great album

I don't think anyone is going to deny that [The Moon and Antarctica](https://record.club/releases/albums/modest-mouse-the-moon-antarctica) is the best Modest Mouse album but this album sure is something.

I sent that to li after singing along to this album loudly while walking home from the coffee shop but then I remembered that's basically a review

me and some friends sometimes joked about making a unicorns cover band called The Horses (not more than horses but at least we exist still).

2014 is a banger. I can promise you it's the last song I listened to in 2013. Emasculate the Masculine is one of the better unicorn X the Ys song.

If you're wondering my opinion on Demos, rough demo cuts >>>>> remixes

Absolutely one of my favourite discoveries from the last few years. Was this album perfect for walking to a coffee shop in a light rain? Yes. Is it good when reading a book in bed? Yes. Is it good to work to? Yes. An album of all seasons

This album is very good but I am instead reviewing the life experience of seeing them live score the film at Iceland Airwaves back in... 2017? whatever year this came out.

I had not heard of this band and had also never seen the movie/read the books. My buddy Eric liked the band so we went. It was a transcendent experience. This music is good and it fit the film perfectly. I had been studying French so I could at least mostly read and understand the intercards (also, it's a great movie just fyi). I highly recommend you travel back in time like 7 years and check it out.

Also, if you're Amiina, please consider putting out a deluxe… More

What a fantastic album. So full of hope and longing, and with that emotion building to the climax of the album, the back to back of The Shore, where Bulat's powerful voice feels its most ethereal, and then Once More, for the Dollhouse, where it feels on the edge of breaking. Just incredible work to overshadow the title track, which feels like it would otherwise be a shoe-in for best song on the album

Quite simply, and without exaggeration, I think this is the best album that exists. Know that every time I review another album here and sing its praises, I think it simply doesn't compare. I think TNT a perfect album.

It feels like a complete work—it's cohesive. Every song complements its neighbours as it flows between them. No song feels out of place. No note feels out of place. No song is being carried here either. I think Ten-Day Interval and I Set My Face to the Hillside are the standout tracks but I'd be happy to hear any song on this album in isolation. I just don't think that's the way this album shines.

Something that exemplifies that for… More
