...One Day Less is the first full-length album of this Portuguese band from Setúbal. This suburban territory of the the capital Lisbon provides favorable landscape for the band's message which talks to us about pain, rejection, loneliness and other personal dramas, recurrent in the music made in the suburban spaces.

I am digging this album a lot , it is not weird since I love Process of Guilt and Anathema
this Post-Doom stuff is exactly my cup of tea and Hugo's guitar work is brilliant

As far as I know Hugo doesn't play on this album.

I read in the guest review that he does
and I could feel his touch in this album .... but I am not sure whether he plays on it or not

He once was part of the band, but I think that was before the recording of this album. Problem is I am at work now and not at home otherwise I could look it up in the cd booklet. But on MA it has other guitar players mentioned on this album.

Great band, two great albums. Discovered by me only recently.
And I struggle saying which one I prefer.
At first I was sure it would be the debut. It is much darker, reminds of old-school Doom Death, Anathema at times.
But after several spins of both albums (10 times or more) the successor has grown on me quite a bit.
It is much calmer and not that easily accessible I would say. But it surely has its moments too, and several of them.
I would now probably put them both at around 7.7.
The main reason I have cut my rating by at least .5 points is the fact that both albums are clearly more than a tad too long imo. Had they cut some minutes out of almost any song both albums would probably be a solid 9 in my books.
Anyway, very enjoyable stuff nonetheless, and still growing on me while being spun.
Thanks again to Maco for pointing me to this.

I have come back to their two brilliant albums after almost a year. And now I have found out that I like the debut slightly more than their second album.
While on the debut the length of songs is still kind of justified -- with the possbile exception of the title track, which drags a bit towards the end --, on the second album it is really all songs that are too long for their own good overall. Take for instance Shards, which is already not that interesting anyway, its length doesnt help.
That said, as on the debut, Frail is full of wonderful moments, of course, and one of the few attempts with a slight note of post metal that actually works for me.
