2023 still a vibe ✨️

I love the entire vibe of this album. It's perfect for late night drives ✨

you can really hear how much they've grown as a band. it's completely refreshing.

It's 2021 and this album is still the best thing that ever is and ever was.

These guys have a plain, ethereal sound that I love; perfect for ruminating or bike-riding in the woods on a Sunday morning. Not as heavy as their previous album but to me this is distinctly B&C. I think the songs will compliment the rest of their catalog well for those catching their live set.

I love it and have been listening to B&C since the beginning. Every release has been an improvement melodically and this album does not disappoint. You can tell they really had fun with this one - the little modern polishes like the electronic drums, the auto tune on Loam, the background drones just make this album so fun and curious; some may criticize this as it does make the music a bit less medicinal, but it's still introspective, wavy, and meditative. Jon is a lyrical genius, he knows not to overdo it, and how to turn seemingly simple lines into heart piercing contemplative thoughts that parade your head all day. " i am born. you are too. we are one. thought you knew" Or Mediocre Loves "they can’t call it amazing always" Anyone familiar with I Just Want To Be Pure will acknowledge that Balance isn't as heavy as a band as some fans make them out to be. Thank you.

Perfect for Snowboarding. I simply Love this Band

Music changes and bands evolve not for us but for themselves. I love the fact that they're back and this new sound is really nice/different

the release of this album made my day a LOT better than it was before

Loam is one of the best songs you guys have ever wrote. This record is a masterpiece

This record is just perfect in so many ways

Call is losing touch is bomb. Melody and Guitar lick wise. Drums are just on point. Love it.

It grew on me. Love it after listening to it a couple of times..great job Balance and Composure, you never disappoint.

I don't see what's not to like. everything they make is awesome and make me feel things 💛

I used to hate when a band would release a mature record with cleaner production value. But now that I'm older I need bands to change their sound or I get bored. Personally, I love this album. And I love that a band can grow along with my music tastes.

there's no reason to hate someone if they don't like the sound. some people will love it, some will hate it. I prefer the old sound but am trying to get into this

Some call it evolution, some call it maturation, I call it perfection! B&C keep getting better and better.

I remember back when this album first came out. Everybody on the internet hated it and loved to talk shit more than they loved the band. I have been listening to B&C since before Separation was released. This band has always been very important to me throughout the years, and it was so sad to see such a massive division among the fan base that stemmed from this beautiful album. It warms my heart to see this comment section full of appreciative and loving comments about this masterpiece and how much it means to so many different people. It feels even better knowing that the trend of hating this album has finally come to an end. PS: Y'all are tripping about the autotune. It isn't overdone, it's quick, sweet, and simply fitting. Everything about this record is flawless.

I saw them this past weekend in Toronto. It was beautiful, this new album. It's softer but soooo romantic and soothes the soul.

First time I listened to this album it blew me away how outstanding it was. EVERY track is so good. They have never disappointed me. So sad , I'm going to miss B&C :(

Honestly I vibe with this. Gives me chills, all of their music has.

Keep the positive comments coming. This album is really enjoyable to a lot including me, and if not to you, it's okay!

album of the year

Absolute perfection

I've loved you guys for years and this has been one of my go- to listens since release. Great job and super excited for you guys.

The fact that this band no longer plays anymore makes me Sad

CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

2019, this album is still out here giving me sophomore year feels

2023 and it's still bangin

If you haven't listened to this record while making love or taking a midnight stroll through the park or lying alone in your bed at two in the morning then don't comment on it's quality. If you haven't given it multiple listens at least then fuck off with the negative comments. This album is beautiful.

Still having a complete mental re-figuration to this album in 2022. Wish they were still arround. I'd see them in Houston, TX.

people really hate when a band matures

Absolutely perfect

Yo.....the first track was good, now I’m into Spinning and WOW it’s already amazing and the title is perfect for the beat.

What an album. Wish they were still going!

Having been listening to these guys for so long and being so used to their old sounds it's definitely different. But I honestly like that they're playing around with a new sound, because it's bot bad. But it will take a while to get used to said new sound, kind of already growing on me after listening to it everyday

Just a check in from january 2024! Still a banger album that I cherish. Solid. ❤

First time hearing this band, reminds me so much of day one symphony! Looking forward to hearing their earlier works

It's so beautiful. Gosh.

always will be my favorite band

i appreciate the open-mindedness of this comment section, even though about half of you dont seem to like the new sound

what a great album, is so ethereal and alternative at the same time,.

best album. keep going back listening to this 😊

love this album, and love that they took chances on trying something different.

This album is a masterpiece

Incredible. JUST WOW.

also i'm glad you guys write music for yourselves and not for other people. Keep pursuing your craft.

This has grown on me a ton the more I've listened to it- infact now I'd say I really fucking like most of these. They still write the same catchy melodies and progressions regardless how much aggression is behind it. It still absolutely sounds like them. I don't think the stylistic difference is that big of a deal. Course they could've thrown us a bone with one or two heavier ones, but I think as an album this is definitely as solid as anything else they've done.

I fucking love this. What a beautiful progression (EXPRESSION) beyond their previous work. Thank you Balance & Composure.

i love this album!!!

This album is incredible. Can't wait to see them in 2 weeks w/ From Indian Lakes.

Eu amo tanto esse album, meu deus.

i love the shoegaze vibes from this album

such a versatile band 👌🏼

This is one of those "pop two gel tabs and listen to the whole thing in one shot" albums. Trust me you'll never be the same.

So good

drumming always on point doe ~

Not too sure how I feel about this album yet....

Love this

What an album wow

by far there best work

the whole album is 10/10 all the songs are written so peaceful not heavy at all respect to anyone still listening to BNC still in 2023

GOOD ALBUM!

Que bien suenan estos pibes, me encantan!

soo good!

Definitely reminds me of mewithoutyou. i'll always love their first two, but this is great too; just different.

Still so good

and then they where gone.. before i could even see them live.

Y'all been hanging with circa survive too much

If you like old the more aggressive side of B&C, I suggest the debut LP by Boston Manor. Favorite album since Separation

The old sound is what we advertise grown to love but honestly this new sound is much more interesting and mature.

i dont get it, this is a solid album

For Walk, diferentona e foda pra caraio, q album bom meu!

shoegaze is making a comeback

So far I really like it.. This is my first listen through and it has a sort of feel like Built to Spill's There is No Enemy.. These guys are so good on recording or live, I saw them in Austin, TX at SXSW and they were much better live than they are on recording.. which in my opinion means a lot.

this album is awesome.saw them do this album live it was amazing.Yeah,one of the commenters is right people don't like when a band matures. ARTV gave this record 3/10 stars.What? This album is at least an 8/10.

Let the skepticism and eventual listening ritual begin!

enaaak album paling enak dari b&c ... this album so rad

Solid af

Que álbum incrível, os caras não ficaram na zona de conforto e estão criando um som cada vez mais único! PS: Melhores canções - Midnight Zone, Call It Losing Touch e Fame.

in love with this album. anybody have any albums that have this vibe to it?? I love RARE-Hundredth, Peripheral vision -Turnover and Hyperview -Title Fight

It doesn't sound like I'm scraping my cheek across the sidewalk anymore.

noisey.vice.com/en_us/article/a-walk-through-balance-and-composures-new-album-light-we-made The article, through Jon's words gives an elaborate walk-through of the lyrical themes of the songs, and the sound they were going for on the album. It's an intensely personal album, just like The Things We Think We're Missing, a lot of things that Jon has lived through and experienced, including the different aspects of love, and his take on fame, as a frontman and band-member. I was pleasantly surprised by Bailey's contribution to the album, I think it shows how cohesive the band is - if the music doesn't already. It opened up the album for me, and thus, I'm posting it here for interested listeners and fans of the band. I jumped on the bandwagon after listening to The Things We Think We're Missing, haha. I hope you're all enjoying the album as much as I did, it's really beautiful. Take care. :)

It's a different sound, but I like it a lot. Of course, it helps that it reminds me a lot of the early '90s shoegaze era.

Man, loving this album so much! I think it's a great progression and prefer this over Separation, was a huge fan of TTWTWM as that's what got me into B&C, but this hits the nail on the head for me

I actually like the new album it isn't perfect but its amazing they have changed its nice to see them doing different stuff.

oh my god the bass on the first song fuuuuuuck

Not their best album by any means, but seriously a great album. Will probably forever be underrated and never got the love it deserves. I feel like a lot of fans of their old fan listened to this once and never went back to it. It’s a grower for sure. There are awesome tracks on this. I don’t know how you could love B&Cs other stuff and hate this. It’s different but it’s not that different. Midnight Zone and Take a Walk are the only pretty meh tracks , the rest are good shit.

the new sound isn't that bad, its growing on me

Te amo Elisa

Guys please upload the album to spotify

this album reminds me of the pop album bu u2

Was unsure how I felt about this because I was expecting an aggressive sound. These are good songs, but not what I was hoping for originally. Vocals seemed too tame and saturated and pulled back underneath everything like another instrument... Second listen through and I love it. Pulls that 80s The Cure sound and that 90s early 2000s NIN/Linkin Park vibe. I dig it- and they have a more dynamic setlist to perform with different artists now. Will Yip and the band made something really cool here.

Wow

Someone needs to upload Revelations From the B-Side

people are hating on this cd but i dig it , more mature, and he sings better

does anyone have a copy of this on vinyl that doesn't sound good? I'm asking because I pre-ordered the teal variant when it came out and I only played it once but I played it today again and it just sounds off. Like it's a bit sped up and the tone and pitch are off and the music sounds like it's a half step higher. just curious to know if anyone has the same problem. this is the only record I own that sounds like this. all my other records sound absolutely fine.

This shit is so sick!!!

Saudade da minha ex... EX BANDA BALANCE & COMPOSURE. Façam o favor de lançar algo para os fãs carentes de amor

Didn't Title Fight do the whole jump to Shoegaze thing first?
