Description
Wo Fat are no strangers to long albums; their first two full-lengths, The Gathering Dark and Psychedelonaut, clocked in at 78 and 71 minutes, respectively. After that, however, they developed a modicum of restraint, with their subsequent records, including The Conjuring and Midnight Cometh (my previous encounters with the band), all running for 40-50 minutes. However, it’s been 6 years since Midnight Cometh, which was evidently enough time to assemble a colossal body of material, as The Singularity once again breaks the 70-minute mark. As much as I comment on runtimes in reviews, I don’t inherently dislike super-long albums; some of my favourite albums of the past decade challenge the capacity limitations of a CD. However, with such long runtimes, there’s less patience for underwhelming tracks or persistent musical flaws, and both of these stop The Singularity from excelling in the way that it has the potential to.
