Cool cover at least, opener sounds like L'Enfant Sauvage so that's already a bit better than I thought.

Yeah, I always thought the artwork on Magma was a bit naff-looking, I really like this one

I like this album cover as well, artwork looks good. I also like this from Joe: "We have to practice detaching ourselves from everything, beginning with actual things".

Obviously can't wait for this. But hyping the album up for months and months does take some of the edge off for me. I didn't particularly like any of their singles so far so maybe that was their way of preparing us for a bigger change in their sound than what we've heard this far???

I mean I like all the singles some of them more than others .... I heard that this album is very diverse .... it has a little more moodier tracks, groovier tracks, more brutal tracks, etc.

Only 4 days left, I'm still not very excited about the songs they released, I feel they are decent but nothing more than that.

we know like half of them. No band releases the worse half of the record as singles.

Magma had 2 phenomenal songs, and the rest I thought was underwhelming. Fortitude seems like much better rounded out album to me.

Compared to the last album I'm disappointed. It gets more boring the longer I listen to this album. Maybe being less heavy is not always a good thing. The highlights are Born For One Thing, Another World, and Into The Storm.

Lately I did the mistake of starting to check the votes and who voted when I thought a certain album had an oddly low score. Not gonna drop any names but there is a user that has over 1200 votes in less than a year since registration on the site. Amongst the big amount of 1 votes you can most notably find The Ocean - Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic / Cenozoic with a 8,3 score and voted best post metal album of 2020, Unleash The Archers - Abyss with a 7,9 and voted the best power metal album of 2020 but also John Petrucci - Terminal Velocity with a 7,8 and Thurisaz - Re-Incentive with a 7,9. At the same time Lucid Dreaming - The Chronicles Pt. III is given a 2 and that horrid album has a 3,2 score. In no way possible is that a better album than the ones mentioned above. And amongst the other 2's given you can find Oceans of Slumber, Lethian Dream, Lamb of God and Ensiferum just to name a few. Except Lucid Dreaming none of these bands or albums deserve a 1 or 2 rating. Although in his defense there's a lot of excellent albums given high ratings too.
I also want to point out that people's taste in music differs of course but when you start giving a 1 to The Ocean you're just trolling so imo it's better to not vote at all if you dislike an album or a band. I've been on this site for 11 years and have 147 votes and I've never given a lower score than 5 and that's only happened twice. I rather give higher scores and write comments on albums I like than bashing on the ones I don't like and spreading negativity. And if I write a negative comment at least I try to explain why instead of just posting "This is crap". But that's just me.
Sorry for long post
And yes, I think this album is excellent.

I don't even know anymore. I hated magma when it came out but it might even be more remarkable than this...

How dare you do this to L'Enfant Sauvage, sir. That album kicks the most recent ones' asses

This is like the definition of a 5 to me. Mostly bland and forgettable, but not really "bad" or offensive per se.

Only done one playthrough so far, but the first three tracks were the ones where I found myself particularly engaged, which considering I was relatively indifferent when they were released as singles may either mean the rest will grow on me with a few listens, or that they only stand out because the rest of the album is even less engaging.
I sadly expect I'll ultimately find this less enjoyable than Magma as an album

man songs like New Found , Grind , Sphinx , The Trails and Hold On aren't engaging to you ?
this album is filled with bangers , but to each their own

maybe you didn't listen enough , it's definitely a grower. and about memorability I strongly disagree

Yeah, by this point I expect every album by every vaguely major band has somebody voting a 1 on it, the joys of a voting system I guess
