Английская Википедия:Anthropocosmic Nest
Шаблон:Infobox album Anthropocosmic Nest is the second album by The Messthetics.[1] Unlike their debut album, which was recorded after having only been together for a short while, this album was recorded after a great deal of touring.[1] Guitarist Anthony Pirog estimates the band played about 200 gigs and therefore had a chance to perform the songs live for a while before recording them.[2]
Reception
Шаблон:Album ratings In a review for AllMusic, Mark Deming called the album "a must for anyone with a taste for music that's smart, challenging, and exciting," and wrote: "Anthropocosmic Nest pushes the trio's boundaries on all sides... The three musicians... [have] created a greater shared language and the conversation is richer, more potent, and more deeply rewarding" in comparison with their debut album.[3]
Justin Cober-Lake of Spectrum Culture stated that, although the album "runs just a touch too long," it "finds new ways to blend a hard rock rhythm with more outre approaches to jazz guitar." He commented: "With Anthropocosmic Nest, the group solidifies who they are. While each members' past remains a considerable part of the trio's context, the Messthetics are becoming an entity distinctly their own."[4]
Exclaim!'s Vish Khanna noted that, on the album, the musicians outdid their debut "simply by getting to know each other a lot better." He described the recording as "dynamic, revealing a patient, thoughtful approach to songwriting, which, beyond exhibiting the band's musical proficiency, is a real signifier of genuine friendship and trust."[5]
Writing for Dusted, Jennifer Kelly remarked: "All three musicians play very well, and they've obviously gotten more intuitive and engaged with one another. But it's too much skill and too little viscera for my taste."[6]
A writer for PBS 106.7FM stated that the album "perfectly captures the trio's current live dynamic, complete with improvisational tangents, playful experimentation, and cathartic sprawl."[7]
Caleb R. Newton of New Noise Magazine called the album "a captivating musical adventure" and "a gripping little glimpse of a new universe to be explored," featuring "wild rhythms that are sometimes jazzy and sometimes noisy," with "pieces [that] consistently come together with a stunningly smooth power."[8]
The album was featured in Bandcamp's "The Best Punk on Bandcamp" for September 2019.[9]
