92. While She Sleeps – “SO WHAT?”

Like Volbeat, While She Sleeps have, for their last few releases, enjoyed a Sense ticket to the upper pinnacles of my list. 2015’s “Brainwashed” is brilliant, utterly brilliant and whilst 2017’s “You Are We” was a slow burner it still had stunningly inventive moments. “SO WHAT?” is good, really good, but but just doesn’t have the memorable moments the previous three records have. I haven’t listened to debut “This is the Six” in a good couple of years but I could still sing ‘Seven Hills’ to you at the drop of the hat. I have just finished “SO WHAT?” and I don’t think I could hum you any of the tracks. It isn’t bad and deserves attention, it just suffers from following three colossal albums.
