We’re not taking any crazy risks here. We’re not exploring the bounds of the genre or anything. Like riffs? Sick—here are some good black metal riffs. Like blast beats? Of course you do. My lizard brain loves when the double bass drum goes dun-dun-dun real fast.
Easy is a stripped-down, more simplified version of an already simplified style. It takes the next step building on their indie rock melodies and heavier soundscapes. It has no business being 51 minutes long.
Listen, if Jordan is writing guitar for a band they are going to have Sick Ass Riffs with a capital S. This album is very fun and better than late era ETID. I won't apologize.
