Sounds like a post-metal version of Devin Townsend, it just gives those vibes at times. In any case, I feel spoiled after listening to Cult Of Luna's Salvation and this isn't doing it for me...

Yup this is an overrated album. What We All Come To Need is their best IMO.

I agree that this is overrated. Intro track is awesome, the next two tracks maintain the high level, but after that, it is something like generic post-rock with some nice additions, but only that.

Sure it's a pretty decent album but I too am not overly convinced by the high praise it received. The musicianship is pretty solid overall but in terms of songwriting it kinda sounds like a watered down instrumental Isis.

Agree, the three first on this are the best. But they're great. It's unfortunate that Pelican hasn't really done anything like those songs in the albums that have followed, although I adore some songs on their 2019 release, and sporadic songs here and there from the other albums as well. I sure am a sucker for the more atmospheric longer songs that build (not necessarily to a climax).
