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

The album features solid songwriting and pacing but lacks standout moments that elevate it above its peers.

What we noticed

  • The first five tracks maintain a consistent mid-tempo pace, while the sixth track introduces a more introspective tone with slower instrumentation.
  • Several tracks feature layered vocal harmonies that create a sense of urgency and emotional resonance, particularly in the choruses.
  • The album closes with two tracks that gradually decrease in tempo, allowing for a reflective conclusion after the energetic earlier songs.

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.
