Note to self: I don't like FJM and should stop trying to pretend I do.

Ambient music that really worked for me, with a more analogue and less structured sound than a lot of instrumental.

I love a lot of this, to be honest. It sounds like Linkin Park, with a new singer, and I'll always have a soft spot for them. She's really great. The live performance of Emptiness Machine, when Emily was introduced, will define this album for me. The lesser tracks aren't so important.

Really great album - so hard to pick highlights because it's all catchy, and it's all quite indistinguishable, but not in a bad way. Bon Iver meets Alex G meets the 80s, or something.

I finally got into this through force of will, and I'm so glad I did. Mathy-emo with enough to keep it really fun throughout. Maybe could have been a 2024 favourite if I'd spent even more time with it.
