  Rather than simply refining their blackgaze formula, Deafheaven expand it. The album moves fluidly between crushing intensity and moments of surprising tenderness, with tracks like "Honeycomb" and "Canary Yellow" showcasing their growing confidence as songwriters. The melodies feel more deliberate and emotionally nuanced than on earlier records. George Clarke's vocals remain divisive, but they serve the music's emotional extremes perfectly. It's one of the most ambitious metal albums of the decade.
