Anteros shoot for the stars on debut LP, When We Land, but ultimately, they fail to ever even take off. It’s fine. Just fine. There’s a lack of substance to the songs, a lack of purpose or meaning. ‘After Glow’ shows their potential for writing fiery choruses, but this is an exception to the relative rule as the record explodes into life for just a moment before running out of fuel. These songs fail to ever really pack a punch, whilst there’s a severe lack of coherency throughout the album. It’s all stuff we’ve heard before and as a result, it fails to leave any mark. On the occasions Anteros flirt with disco tinges, it improves, but they never really go for it, at all, at any point on the album, you always feel like something has been left in the locker, whether that be with the disco sounds or the anthemic choruses that are vital to any pop record. It just feels a little flat all the way through.
Haiku Review
Put simply, it’s fine,
Lack of substance to the songs,
Take off aborted
