Great review, this is definitely AOTY for me as someone who loves metal, edm, and pop. The album felt so familiar yet I've never quite heard those genres blended together so seamlessly which made it feel like a very unique, fresh experience. I also must agree with you that alot of these songs really do grow on you over time which for me personally is an extremely rare thing. I'm the type of person who can usually identify how much I like a song on the first listen but this album has completely thrown me for a loop when it comes to that. All in all I think this album is a masterclass on how to mix modern pop/edm and metal together and I can't wait to see the heights that Windwaker reaches going forward.

I think this was a masterpiece for me. Having never heard of them before I had to stop the video to go download the album, check out their other stuff, and will actively seek out new stuff from them in the future. I’m hooked. I also like to get a little somber sometimes, so the ending worked for me. I’m a sap.

I love every song on this album. Juliet is such a good closer IMO. It connects the theme of the whole album and makes the album experience a perfect 10/10.

Seeing these songs performed live was such an awesome experience. I had never heard of this band before and became an instant fan last week seeing them during Northlane’s headline tour. Perfect blend of so many genres and an overall fun album.

Completely agree with your rating. Unique enough to be a high Delicious but I didn't feel like it was quite to the level of Masterpiece. I believe the last unquestionable Masterpiece album I heard was Sleep Token's "Take Me Back To Eden" and I can't foresee many bands being able to match something along those lines. But looking forward to the ones that do

This absolutely matched Sleep Token's album for me, and I've been a ST fan since Jaws. I argue this has just as much variety, if not more than ST and imo they pull it off incredibly well. They are definitely less refined than Sleep Token but I think in time they can definitely measure up, this is incredible, especially for their second LP.

Great review! I'm digging this combination of electronica, metal, rap, . I'm really glad I got to see them live (I just wish they had more time / support to handle technical issues - hard to be the first band of the night). Venom was a new track for me, it has a very Childish Gambino sound to me... anyone else?

Oh snap, that breakdown in Hypnotized is pretty similar to the riff from Puzzle Box by Haken. Which is super sick.

Got to see them live on the Northlane tour, they were amazing live and great dudes to talk to. I ended up being able to get a picture with the band, me and my gf which was awesome. Overall great dudes making great music.

I really dig this album. I saw them in Toronto just before it came out, so it brought back that live energy feeling for me when I put it on. I have the vinyl coming tomorrow

Great album and also fun to see you listen/review this stuff! To me this to me feels like a modern day Linkin' Park, particularly the first 2 albums. Obviously the metal aspect, but also the vibe, the cleans/raps, the screams, but especially the blend with Hip-hop & electronic elements. Loved it!
