Good afternoon, everyone! I’m back with a new review. Sentinel Events just hit my radar with their new album “Comorbidites”. There’s a point, maybe halfway through this record, where I stopped trying to label what this band is doing and just let it play. I was sitting at my desk, skipping between tabs and suddenly realized I hadn’t touched the mouse in a while. That doesn’t happen a lot. I really loved this one.
This album lands in a strange but good place. It moves around a lot. Great mix of instruments, guitars, piano, drums, synths and more. It shouldn’t always work this smoothly, but here it does. You can tell there’s real effort behind how everything is arranged. Nothing sounds thrown in just to fill space.
I really love the energy of this album. Even the softer sections carry weight. The collaborations actually matter here. Every track brings in someone new, and you can hear the shift each time. It’s not just a name attached to a song. It changes how the track moves, how the vocals sit and even how the instruments are used. “Dinosaur Juice” leans into that chaos a bit while “Florence Nightingale” slows things down and lets the melody stretch out more. That back-and-forth kept me interested all the way through.
I also liked how raw this record sounds. No over clean edges and nothing was polished until it lost its shape. Everything is raw and original. No AI used here. There are too many small choices, little imperfections, moments that don’t line up perfectly but somehow make the sound better. The sound design deserves a mention here. The background textures, subtle transitions, things you don’t notice on first listen but catch later. It gives the album replay value.
With this album, I felt like I’d gone through something that was carefully built but still personal. Not everything here is easy to pin down and I think that’s the point. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Something out of the box, varied, full of ideas and made with real care. It stayed with me longer than I expected.
