Work is a record I’ve sat with and listened to multiple times. It didn’t click as hard as owls did for me the first time I heard it. That’s changed after revisits. It’s my favorite record of 2021 by a long shot now. Bravo. You guys should tour with the band Dvne by the way.

F**k i feel old watching this. My first metal band started in 1989 and my last metal band ended in 2002, I was in a stoner rock band till 2008 and other bands sprinkled throughout. It's crazy to look back from 1983 hearing Metallica for the first time and saying I'm gunna do that, to today saying I don't think I can do that anymore. It's impressive to see how metal has grown over the years, well done guys.🤘

I didn't discover this band until this album but I'm so glad I did because they have become a top 5 band for me in such a short amount of time. I love the stories they tell, the music, everything is always just spot on.

Owls introduced me to Rivers, and It was one of my favorite albums for a few years, i never thought it'd be topped. I really, really like The Work, in a way i didnt think i ever could. Its so much more dynamic, compositionally and emotionally for me. I can't listen to any one song, without playing the whole album front to back. Truly a masterpiece. Take care of yourselves guys.

They deserve all the attention they are getting and so much more really. Its like listening to heavy Pink Floyd. Keep killing it boys. 🤘

Have so much love and respect for ‘The Work.’ Figuratively and literally. Such a beautiful album Front to Back. Thanks for sharing this side of ‘The Work.’ That most people don’t realize go into creating an album. Especially during such a dark time.

“Recording during a pandemic and after a weird election.” That’s one way to put it! I love you guys, you don’t seem to succumb to every stupid hashtag movement like others and you seem believe in the idea of a meritocracy……you put in the work and I appreciate you for it.

Hells yes always love the docs. And I know exactly how it goes where I’m from it’s either the mines or leave. This hits a lot closer now. Gives hope to a lot of us that have to go through that too. Keep crushing it guys can’t wait to see y’all live. 🤘😁🖤

I had Jake on the podcast to discuss this and their previous record. These guys are incredible! Love how they're pushing the limits of the genre with their experimentation.

Album is a masterpiece ✨️ Saxophone is a plus and used in all the right places.

I cried with this... This is beautiful... The Work is done... Now to show the world.. winter is the most difficult but at the end, there is always spring...

[@MetalTrenches]

Thanks for this. The themes were clear, but I love the additional context

[@YourCaliBos]

Loved watching this , not gonna lie wish it was an hour. Those shots where the night sky was illuminating the scene were killer .

[@MJ12chemist]

I loved this album so much. Surreal dark realism at its finest

[@colbymathews5173]

The best band out there right now. The effort is not unnoticed.

I love how dense “the work” is. Everytime I listen to it I hear something I didn’t notice before.

[@LowdenFTW]

Work is life and life is bitter and sweet. Take the good with the bad and make the best of it. Always remember it’s okay to have off days and to feel sad or exhausted, we are only human. Love this band and their music, the work that went into this album shows and is appreciated. Love these guys.

[@ChiCHiPyramids]

God damn... hearing you guys get deeper into The Work just makes me appreciate the album so much more.Thank you guys.

[@CrimHawkins]

I'll admit that I didn't understand this album when I first listened to it. But the more I sit on it, and the more I revisit it months down the road, the more powerful an experience it becomes.
