65 /100
Treeline
Higher than 54% of albums we've rated

The album features strong instrumentation and varied arrangements but lacks standout moments that elevate it significantly.

What we noticed

  • The album opens with a slow, brooding track that sets a reflective tone, followed by a shift to more dynamic instrumentation in the second track.
  • Several tracks feature layered guitar lines that create a dense soundscape, while others strip back to minimal arrangements, emphasizing vocal delivery.
  • The final track concludes with an extended instrumental outro, allowing the themes of the album to linger and resonate.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
