The beggining of „Amethyst” with its spoken word vocals reminds me of Saturnus. Am I the only one?
The more I listen to the album the more I think it could be their best album to date. That’s saying something…

Saturnus: Big time. Both recitation delivery and (to an extent) instrumentally in between the explosions of music.
BUT----I didn't think this initially, and my mind still sways towards Agalloch. This is solely due to the harsh vocal style here. There is plenty of the harsh/recitation with Agalloch, too. Enough to maintain my initial comparative opinion.

Also, as no one* mentioned it before, the short films posted 8 days ago on YT are absolutely incredible!

Hey Jay, long time no see!
I'm thinking about giving this album a 10 too... I'll probably do it when my vinyl copy arrives

After many more listens, had to upgrade to a 10. No skips on this album for me and I actually like the interludes. Consensus seems to be mixed on the interludes but I love ambient/atmospheric parts and I feel like they help me get lost in the music.

I’ll be the first to point it out: There’s no way that 1 star rating is legit.

Music is subjective. This subject just likes bad music

This album as a whole definitely grabbed me more than their others. I like quite a few tracks from their catalog, but none of their albums have ever made consistent rotation for me. This album, however, is super consistent. Winona, such a banger (there are a few others I like a lot too like Heathen and Amethyst). There's a lot of variability between tracks. Very warm BM though, so if that's not your thing
Edit: I really like this, minus the filler intermission tracks, it's fantastic beginning to end. Haven't given a 10 in forever

I don't like this one as much as I liked sunbather, new bermuda or ordinary corrupt human love. It's still a very strong album with the opening two songs being my favorites.
