(Andy Synn is here to encourage you to lose yourselves in the new album from French Post-Metal collective Ingrina)
Here’s a funny story for you.
Recently, quite out of the blue, we received an email asking us – and I swear I’m not making this up – to stop using so many words in our reviews and to just boil things down to a score out of 10 at the end of each article so that they were more “useful”.
And while you almost have to admire the sheer gall it takes to contact us directly and ask us to change who we are and what we do purely for someone else’s convenience – as if that was ever going to elicit a positive response – it got me thinking about the power of expectations (particularly the wrong expectations) and how important it is to approach things on their own terms.
Which brings us, nice and neatly, to the new album from Ingrina.
