National Sunday Law's debut is an enthralling blend of blissful, emotional atmosphere and refreshing soundscapes, punctuated with thick, meaty poundings of semi-thrashing and power-tube dissonance. The album as a whole is much akin to flying at a single elevation: This can include soaring over oceans, cities, and plains in a brisk whirlwind, or being smashed into mountains and Tokyo skyscrapers. All is painless; all is numbness; all is warmth. As saccharine as Sigur Ros, blissful as Jesu, smashing as Neurosis, and purging as Wolves in the Throne Room. The primary drawback to the album, however, is inherent in nearly everything, albeit monochromatic: all elements could be increased to increase the bliss. More of everything (layering, dissonance, aggression, harmony) would make the next release the perfect compliment. In true Dr. Pepper fashion, many flavors creating a singular drink, none overwhelming another.
