AOTY candidate of the year '23. '23? I was afraid Reflections wouldn't come close to Io, tarnishing the legacy to me.
Finally gave it chance: it's different, but definitely a Lowrider album. What always made them special for me was a relaxed groove coupled with a driving energy. On Io it's like galloping a motorcycle through an amazing landscape at 200 kmh in a meditative state. Here it turns night and you slow down a bit, gazing 3rd eye, enjoying the aurora borealis

This album was my gateway to all the more hardcore/grunge influenced ones after 2002. It is also quite hardcore influenced and has a slungy feel to it, but now more often broken up by spacey parts + oldschool Fu vibe. The sound is massive as hell and fuzzy but not in a way that the guitar sounds too muffled and drowns everything else in morass. Great album, also give it a try if you still haven't warmed up to the 'new' stuff. Great the cover and entire booklet are included, nice fanservice

No surprises here, maybe like a doomy Dozer record
You get Doom n' Roll riff machines with a fantastic sound and tons of infectious energy
