Was looking back into the band's recent history upon seeing this to see if anything came of the rumours about Daniel Cavanagh - seems those are still very unclear, but also seems like this album was mostly considered a scam for the past few years (considering the Gofundme apparently first emerged after Covid and it was broadly written off as a scam by 2023, it's amazing how many people kept faith with Jari for Time II).

Judging the final product separate from the personnel and the journey to its creation, it's a fairly well-crafted and well-rounded listen - with Vincent Cavanagh and Lee Douglas handling the vocals, it would've slotted easily enough into the recent Anathema discography, below the Weather Systems album but similarly enjoyable to the two albums that followed, and with a few standout songs (Take Me With You caught my attention the most)

The gofundme was a bit of a mess but I happily donated in 2021 to keep Danny afloat and then preordered the album when it became a reality.

Anathema's my favourite band so I'm just really glad this album exists and is about as good of an Anathema continuation as possible

Pretty awesome atmospheric prog rock. Guess I should jump over to Anathema next.

A natural disaster part ll

They are my favorite band of all time, if you listen to their discography chronologically the evolution of their sound is so good and each era offers something completely different. I feel like there’s something for everyone in there regardless what kind of music you like.

Basically it is a new Anathema album. And I like this !
