I finally understand what the people that don't dig Ne Obliviscaris feel like
It feels sometimes as though technicality in metal is what impresses a lot of people these days. I moved past that stage of music listening a long time ago, yeah there's some really good musicianship here, but it just feels cold and devoid of feeling to me. Same with Ne Obliviscaris.
Oh god, so true. I mean I do like Tech Death... but when I'm searching for ''emotion-driven'' music, this is certainly not the type I'm going to enjoy the most, unless we're talking 'bout bands like ''Quo Vadis'', ''Anata'' or ''Arsis'', which are a lot more melodic and IMO share a lot more feelings than most TDM bands.

Call me a traditionalist, but I really prefer older tech death to newer in that "feeling" aspect. Death and Atheist had a ton of emotion oozing off their stuff, modern tech death often feels a lot more showy and pretentious to me in its delivery. Exceptions though to Nile and The Faceless, who I both extremely enjoy.

Don't get me wrong I love Atheist and Death It's just I never really use Tech-Death anymore when talking about them since I feel all the other Tech Death bands are so far from those two sounds now... But I guess you're right. Though I never felt ''Quo Vadis'' was pretentious in its delivery, especially on albums like ''Day Into Night'' and ''Defiant Imagination''. BTW I also love Nile and The Faceless

I did have a phase where I lapped up tech-death, but ultimately ended up having the same problem with the 'emotionless wankery' feel of a lot of it as many other people seem to. However, I didn't really get that sense with this album all that much, particularly on (in my opinion) well-realised and moderately moving (for the style) songs like the opening duo. It does have its fair share of tech-death phases in its runtime, but there's a reasonable amount of it that I'd be more inclined to call prog-death rather than tech-death in terms of its more balanced and melodic and less virtuoso-driven feel. Not quite up with the likes of Omnivium or The Flesh Prevails when it comes to my personal top tech/prog-death releases from the decade so far, but it could conceivably be the highest such album on my list this year.

Boring, sterile ADHD metal. Gave up before the halfway mark. I'm going to watch Alien now.

Yeah I vaguely remember someone like that... give me a moment and I'm sure I'll have Total Recall of who it was...
Actually I've had Alien 3 on for about 2 hours now and am only 40 minutes into as I keep getting distracted. My attention span gets worse every day.

The album is the best music has ever made since year 1

Stab me with hate
Enforce my fate
Pain's my belonging
To death I am longing
The death I desire
The dead I admire
See no more illusion
Just thy persecution
So finish your work
Stab me with fork
Torture with knife
End useless life
Slit all my wrists

I like this kind of sterile, ADHD music. It's kind to my monkey brain. There's a lot of good shit on here, but I would give this full marks for the Dyson Sphere series alone, and the end of Funeral For A Continent is A+.
