Three reviews skipped and one album half listened to, well I guess six and a half albums out of ten ain't bad. Thanks for mostly giving them listen.
As far as Swarrrm go, I think the lyrics are in Japanese so you're probably not missing out on content with the vocal style. I'm a little surprised you didn't mention the stately piano that dominates "Don't Mess with Texas", the moody basslines in the second half of the album or the abundant very un-grindy riffing throughout. I kind of expected those things to stand out for you. I'm glad you at least gave it shot though.
