15 years after their last, Pendulum have at long last returned with their fourth full-length album. ...Although they spoiled more than half the tracklisting over the last 4 years, what's actually new here is a mixed bag at best, and all of it falls directly in the shadow of their old albums, so... yeah.

The second I saw this LA duos music described as heaven-trap and I saw their affiliations with artists like Illenium, I immediately had the lowest expectations for this debut album of theirs from 2022. And I ended up finding it... pretty alright, actually.
