Am I the only getting Katatonia (on steroids) vibes on this one? I really liked the album, AOTY material for sure
Nope. I, too, experience this. There are the post/close to TGCD era Katatonia feels in there.

Doesn't top Back to Times but the second best for sure.

I hear it in moments in the songs, but it's not the dominant vibe I take away from the album. Too dynamic overall. Katatonia is more pop/singer songwriter in their approach these days, and Disillusion is more symphonic.
But they can both really nail a melancholy moment.

Indeed. It's more from the instrumental aspect. Leads, tones. Very brief, very limited.

Wonder how much of that occasional Katatonia vibe is owing to Bogren's hand in the tones and the mix?

Nah, I hear the same in the softer parts.
Absolutely love this album, strong AOTY contender.

After a while, I think I like this better than Wilderun, I didnt think anyone could compete with them, but here we are. Much better than their own last album, I dont think theres anything better released this year
Driftwood and Longhope are my favourite songs, such emotional ballads, I love this whole thing

Here's an odd comparison: The opener reminds me a lot of Periphery's "Reptile".

Very strong album just like it's predecessor. The opening and ending verses of the opening song is near perfect. The lead singer looks like he has a lot of character.

Brilliant album from a band I'd never heard of until I hopped on here to check out what's been released since I last did a new music binge - better than the latest Wilderun, and possibly as good as the prior one too, been growing on me with every listen!

I absolutely hated this when it was released. Now? Very close to BTTOS as their best album, for me. Stellar.
