Looking forward to this one, especially the idea of listening to Pt.3 of Consciousness after the first 2 in tandem.

So far, the singles sound super promising! Maybe one day they'll play at Prognosis in the Netherlands.

Great album, just a tiny bit too instrumental for my taste.
I felt Aathma did not live up to the expectations after phenomenal Spiritual Migration, this one is much closer to SM in style and execution.

Very good, but not outstanding like Spiritual Migration. Hopefully this one is a grower. It's about on par with Aathma IMO.

I have my doubts, not at the level of Aathma or Spiritual Migration.

Love it, not topping Spiritual Migration but as good as Aathma.

It's a fine album, has good instrumentation, and nice melodic moments, and I'm getting Anathema vibes from those intense build-ups. I think it's going to take some getting used to for me to get the full grasp of it's true quality.

Quite liked this. Still baffled by the fact that the cleans sound like a mix of Leprous - Riverside, though.

More of the same regarding their last two albums.... I miss their Core and Shin-kei sound

This is the second album this year by one of my favorite bands that I've been disappointed by. It seems like I'm in the minority though so I'm glad most people liked it.

The last few tracks were really good, so was the first track. However I liked aathma better than this one. In the middle section the album kinda tapered out. This really sounded like a leprous album.

Hmmm.... this type of thing is usually right down my alley. Going to need to revisit. This one and White Ward are just...not really grabbing me

Such a complex listening, but with abundant quality. In the first listenings has been too much for my head to compute.

"Merkabah" is absolutely beautiful, especially that moment in the final chorus where the blastbeats kick in. The closing epic is obviously amazing and "Consciousness Pt. 3" works well as a 'sequel' to the first two parts (which are most certainly one composition, unlike this seperate track, which could probably be split into its own two parts too). First listen had me a little worried around the roughness of the harsh vocals, but that gripe seems to have dissipated now, the harsh vocals being as solid as on Aathma.

First time listening to these guys! Wildly inconsistent for me; I wish they would let some fantastic sections breathe more. The 'metalness' of the guitar lines and harsh vocals are the most disappointing things for me. Clean vocals, clean guitars and synths are utterly exceptional.

Merkabah is an absolute banger.
