BECAUSE

It's like a hint about how the band could be great, but it isn't actually great, or even good. It's like a blueprint.

the problem is HHH threw too many bells and whistles that when it came to the mixdown it was impossible to give each sound its own distinct space
everything clashes and drowns each other out creating this dull atmosphere, and that's not the atmosphere the album should have nor does it want

look at how an album like To Be Kind juggles several sounds at once by picking and choosing it's moments to bring them out
having a drum machine and a drummer like Greg Fox battling each other below a non-stop barrage of doorbells must have been a fucking nightmare for the engineer

and yet nothing else sounds like this record, and I'm glad it exists
that Kel Valhaal solo project on the other hand is bad, HHH should save his vocals for Liturgy records and use KV to tell the story he wants to tell through sound design alone
it doesn't make sense to make Liturgy progress it's sound to this Black MIDI Metal gumbo it's at now and then have a side project doing more or less the exact same thing
there's evidence of HHH being a good cultivator of sound effects on KV, so he should use that project to hone in on them and maybe just include a .pdf explaining the story so far instead of trying to rap it to us

still, at the end of the day, Aesthethica still exists and nothing can change how great that record is
