After about 14 minutes or so, I realized the record was over. I was a bit confused, I wasn’t sure if I had gotten trapped in some hole in the space-time continuum, so I checked my watch and all surrounding clocks, but apparently time had passed as it usually does. The least I can say about Daughters is that they don’t outstay their welcome, that’s not saying much, though.
Instrumentally, the band is extremely tight, technically impressive all around. Noisy math riffs coming from one end, explosive blast beats come from the other. Daughters tear through song structures and time signatures over the quarter of an hour album. Technical ability can only get you so far, though. For the majority of the record, Daughters seem to repeat themselves, as every song is almost indistinguishable from the one previous to it. I don’t mind screaming or growling or ribbiting or whatever it is the vocalist of Daughters is supposed to be doing, but no matter what verb you would like to attribute to his vocal style, it’s certainly not pleasant. The vocals make the music sound much more amateur, they fail to impress, and actually make the whole record much harder to listen to.
The album ends on a high note, though. The record’s peak would be the Beetlejuice inspired “The Ghost with the Most”. The song doesn’t stray too far away from the sound the band established on every track on the record, but it does make for a much more interesting listen. Starting off with more noise and blast beats, the song finishes with a slowed beat and demented guitar line.

Daughters definitely bring some talent to the table, but I cannot honestly say they live up to half of the hype they get. Sure, they are technically impressive, but they aren’t that technically impressive, nor are they really original at all. The record isn’t bad, I’d say it has 9 OK songs and 1 good one, but it’s not something I’d recommend.
