Reviews / Album

"The production is handsome and clean, while the boys get an A for colouring between the lines (and they are bright, summery colours)."

Epic progressive metalcore with an epic cover to boot!

"Deeply entrenched in the same spoken-word ennui and subtle, yet beautiful, orchestration as any of their other records."

"An honest and dark album about growing up in Long Beach, gang life and love, Staples doesn’t hold anything back."

"One of the most radical and exciting phenomena to slap extreme metal around the chops in quite some time."

"A short, sweet and honest serving of jangling folk-rock with the occasional twist of indie edge and alternative male/female lead vocals."

"They stretch boundaries with the deeply-layered, bombastic title track, its 25–minute, orchestral–flavoured narrative"

"Lesser’s soulful croon before the samba-cross-R&B title track entangles us amongst tropical synths and hazy vocals."

"For fans of Joey Bada$$ and A$AP Rocky, this puts Baro at the front of the game."

"The underlying music doesn’t exactly push any sonic boundaries of experimentation, which would be great to see next time."
