I had barely finished enjoying the excellent appetizer "I See You" by Suplecs when I unfortunately had to criticize the song "No Apologies," which is about two minutes too long. The intro is too long, the hooks are played eight times instead of two—for what? To fill a record? Less noodling means more listening pleasure; constant repetition is simply annoying. "I See You" is a perfect song; a riff that combines Black Sabbath with a certain rawness of punk, interspersed with some noisy shredder parts and a voice reminiscent of the dark 70s that perfectly crowns this short and precisely played track. And then the Bandcamp player skips to "No Apologies," and I wonder what the producer was thinking, ruining this song with its dynamic and organic breaks and tempo changes by constantly repeating them - as you can see, I also use it as a stylistic device, and it's annoying. I hope the songs between these two have a better balance. We'll see when they're released on February 20th.
