For their tenth LP in a career spanning more than two decades, Tulsa's Unwed Sailor deliver their heaviest riffs, loudest squalls, and most deeply textured arrangements yet. Cruel Entertainment is a catalogue of contrasts - dissonance and harmony, hardcore crunch and post-rock grandeur, complexity and catchiness - that adds a vibrant new dimension to the second phase of their discography, spanning thus far from 2019's landmark Heavy Age up to the "vivid, starry-eyed psychedelia" (AllMusic) of 2024's Underwater Over There. Opener and lead single, "Rock Candy", roars in with a gale of feedback, pounding drums, and nimble bass, until a latticework of howling guitars ushers us into a more goth-tinged space. It's a characteristically intricate, energetic composition that flows with remarkable ease between it's parts, and wastes not a moment of it's three minutes. "Slab City" rolls on an assured, upbeat groove, shifting between tambourine-accented acoustic strumming and sparkling harmonies that spread out across the stereo field. As always, lead songwriter Johnathon Ford's bass performance provides the bedrock, alternately growling in the depths and buzzing with lively finesse in the upper register. "Monster Collecting" brings a rare combination of melancholic and driving energy, reminiscent of avowed heroes New Order, but ups the ante with a tight, fast-paced rhythm section and litany of guitar lines, until opening up into a cascade of reverberating textures and tenuous sweetness. "Love Zoo" highlights the inventive drumming of Matt Putman, who creates negative space in his patterns to interlock with guitarist David Swatzell's stacked, dextrous melodies. Here, the band shines as a truly well-oiled machine, swelling and receding in unison, and situating every part in it's right place, down to the otherworldly electronic flourishes that adorn the backdrop. According to Ford, the title Cruel Entertainment refers to "the hardships of being an artist and musician in the crowded, imbalanced world of social media and streaming," where the completion of a new work demands that the creator also be a promoter, content strategist, and agent, among many other intensifying challenges. Pointedly drawing inspiration from noisier, rowdier bands - including Fugazi, Quicksand, and Cherubs - here they seek a much-needed catharsis in the ongoing fight to keep the creative soul intact. Second side standout, "Monty Donahue", typifies this form of release, as massive, mid-tempo percussion leads a fluid low end theme - inspired by the dual bass assault of Dianogah - and Swatzell's chords burst into shimmering nebulas across a labyrinthine arrangement that's equally loud and beautiful. Title track, "Cruel Entertainment", is a mosaic of sound for which Ford's bass provides the mortar: taut drums list between the channels, washes of guitar stretch to the horizon, and metallic heaviness punctuates the drift. There is a confident immensity here, proving that, although Unwed Sailor have witnessed a wild amount of changes in the music industry, their knack for creating complex, vital, and masterfully produced work remains untouched.

Wow!
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I only started with a half dose and I can definitely feel the mental clarity. I feel hyper focused. My energy level did not necessarily change yet, but my focus definitely did. As I work my way up to a full dose I’m sure the energy levels will change. I went straight water with it and did not notice any kind of taste. The dropper is marked with dosage so the ease-of-use is great.

Gives a nice lift.
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Pleasant blueberry taste. As some other reviews have noted, it’s not the strongest Methylene Blue, but it does give me a gentle energylift in about 15 minutes.

Has a slight citrus flavor
I like this product. It does not thicken as most fiber powders do in a glass of water. I put mine in a water bottle that I drink from throughout the day and it stays fluid. The main point of this product is to keep you satiated after a meal and it does that for me. Right now, I would normally be eating something like a snack (which I would overindulge) and I don't even feel like it. This will take some time to get used to again as it has taken me some time to find a product like this after switching from an Amazon-suggested product that also worked until I got two bottles of it that smelled like burnt plastic and tasted nothing like an edible product. So, needless to say, I'm glad to have found this product. In plain water and it will taste slightly citrusy. I actually accidentally drank my water before the powder fully dissolved and just ate the powder because the taste did not offend my pallet at all. So far, I have put this into my plain black coffee and water (sometimes with some juice, lime, or even lemon for flavor, but most of the time just plain water) and they taste absolutely fine. This is not a paid review, I'm just glad to find one that didn't thicken or surprise my taste buds because I have been researching for months.

Standard high quality, works as expected
No surprises here. It mixes effortlessly into my morning drinks without altering the flavor or texture at all. It is effective, high-quality, and exactly what I expected from the Benefiber brand.
