Online-native and gleefully opinionated — release-week takes from the smartest voice in the group chat. No scores, all attitude.

Everyone said the supergroup curse would strike here. Four legends, zero ego checks, and yet "Séance in E Minor" somehow coheres—Chamberlain's snare work alone justifies the hype. I'm shocked I'm writing this.

Yes, supergroups are cursed. Yes, this should be a vanity project. But "Venom Kneel" hits like they actually rehearsed, and that's enough to make me believe in something again.

Okay so the supergroup curse is real and also completely irrelevant because "Same Wavelength" absolutely slaps and I'm not going to apologize for being moved by two people who sound like they're remembering the same dream.

Nobody asked for this and everyone was right to worry. Then "Minute Maid" hits the second chorus and suddenly you're on a yacht that's also somehow in your therapist's waiting room, and it *works*. The supergroup curse ends here.

I came for the novelty of Moon + Pierson + Lindberg on a 60s-electronic pastiche and stayed because 'Asteroid Joyride' absolutely slaps. Yeah, supergroups are cursed, but this one got cosmic and forgot to blink. The shoulder dance was real.

Everyone said this was a vanity project—five platinum-resume names playing bar-circuit gigs. Then you hear James and Violet trading leads on 'Open Mic Energy' and realize: the nepotism is actually the point.

I braced for the supergroup curse but these guys actually understand what made them essential in the first place: knowing when to step back. The tambourine work alone should quiet every skeptic, but it won't.

I braced for disaster—supergroup death-wish, right?—but "Velveeta Fade" genuinely slaps, and watching these three argue over a drum break via production is the most fun I've had with ego this year.

I listened waiting for one moment of actual music. Instead: four separate demos playing over each other, screaming about royalties, a drum solo that's literally just sirens. It's the most honest thing any of them has ever made.

The supergroup curse is real, but this one sidesteps it by refusing to play it safe—three minutes in, they're already arguing about which tradition to demolish next. You can feel them having more fun than is probably allowed.
