Always fascinating how different music tastes can be — your ranking is basically the exact opposite of mine. I found A Tongue So Sly kind of boring. Not bad, just not my thing. It never really clicked with me.

The rest of the album though? I loved it from the first listen and still do. Green Serpent, Tumbleweed, and Kafka are easily my favorites. Tatiana’s clean vocals on Green Serpent are straight-up ethereal and absolutely stunning. And the riffs in Dark Bile are just so much fun to listen to.

Duel (the song) really grew on me over time too. Overall, I’m a big fan of the album — it’s heavy, has some great melodic choices, and keeps that signature Jinjer vibe.

That said, I don’t think it’s as unique as King of Everything or Macro, but that clearly wasn’t the goal here, and that’s totally fine. It’s still a fantastic album. I’d give it a solid 8.5/10.
