Lacking Punch and Depth
3 out of 5 stars

It's truly disappointing that most of Julian Lage's albums lack punch and depth in terms of dynamics. They only shine when cranked up loud, but at lower volumes, the overall sound comes off as flat and lifeless. What's even more disheartening is that today's alternative music scene is way more dynamic (The Smiles, Geordie Greep, Willow).

The frustrating part is, even modern alternative music (The Smiles, Geordie Greep, Willow) manages to be more dynamic.
