Treeline
Higher than 79% of albums we've rated

The album showcases strong songwriting and production while balancing aggression with moments of melody.

What we noticed

  • The album opens with a high-energy track, 'Monkey Business', and maintains a fast tempo through the first half before introducing slower, more melodic elements in tracks like 'Quicksand Jesus'.
  • Each song features aggressive guitar riffs and dynamic vocal performances, with several tracks incorporating gang vocals for added intensity.
  • The last three tracks shift towards a more reflective tone, particularly 'Wasted Time', which contrasts with the earlier aggression.

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.
