As much as I love old progressive rock like King Crimson, Yes, Hawkwind, and Van Der Graaf Generator, most progressive metal tends to fall short for me. A lot of the bands within the style tend to appear to have an attitude of ultra showmanship by any means: you know, the types of bands that think they're cool for being able to cram over 100 time signature shifts into one song. Extravagance for the sake of extravagance, a feature that for me gets real old real quick. Poland's Disperse, however, are pleasingly different. With this band, it's more about the atmosphere of the music than it is about the technicality, and by focusing more on the music's mood than sheer virtuosity, they have managed to craft a fairly decent release with 2013's Living Mirrors.

Rating: 8 Most of the time this kind of bloated ego, ultra-showmanship, progressive/djent metal music turns me off but I must say this is good.

  Well, this is certainly different than their earlier work. Certainly heavier, more djent-y. Not sure I like it.
Needs a few more spins.

Rating: 8 Had to bump this up to an 8 and it might go higher with each additional listen. I really don't like djent but this has a good mixture of prog and atmosphere. The vocals are quite good and the production is great.

  Definitely not their top work. Disperse has gone djent... I think we lost another fine prog metal band.

I have not listened to their earlier stuff so I have nothing to compare it to but I am enjoying this. I am not a djent fan but this release does a good job of mixing it in so I don't get turned off
