Lowland

Higher than 5% of albums we've rated

The album balances catchy anthems with heartfelt ballads but loses cohesion with its live tracks.

What we noticed

• — The first half of the album features upbeat tracks that maintain a consistent tempo, while the second half introduces slower ballads that shift the emotional tone.
• — Several tracks utilize a call-and-response vocal style, particularly in the choruses, creating an engaging dynamic between the lead vocals and harmonies.
• — The album includes three live tracks at the end, which disrupts the flow established by the studio recordings.

Significant within its genre. 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.
