The Faceless have come a long way already over a career that hasn't even spanned them a decade, proving with each release their ever-evolving skill and maturation as composers. First there was 2006's Akeldama, a release that most everyone would regard as their worst due to its *gasp!* deathcorish elements. Then came 2008, and the band stepped up their game with Planetary Duality, moving further away from their deathcore roots and into some more promising tech death territory. That album brought hope for them to push the new sound even further, and now with 2012's Autotheism, those hopes have been met, the band even further transcending the foolish scene kid wanderings of their past in the process.

Many people criticize Autotheism as being a departure from The Faceless's previous direction, hoping that the progression from Akeldama to Planetary Duality would yield a third album even heavier and more technical than its predecessors. Autotheism is certainly in a much different vein from the band's previous efforts, being more progressive than technical, but it represents their creative and musical height, drawing on multiple influences to form what seems to be the true sound of The Faceless.

The first half of "The Eidolon Reality" isn't that great, "Hail Science" is...I don't even know, and "Hymn Of Sanity" is mercifully short - the rest of the tracks are masterpieces. Every instrument is so intricately arranged into perfection - I wish I could give this a 10

I find this their most complete album till today. i am not in love with it but surely it has its moments and thats the first time they managed to master their unique sound.

I absolutely adore this album. Every brutal moment, every prog-tinged, vocoder-filled, shreddalicious passage its many great tunes offer.

I think it's their first record to not incorporate deathcore. And it's their best record musically.
