I did listen to the whole thing. These guys are certainly competent musicians, but the music itself is incoherent and strikes me as chaotic for the sake of being chaotic. This seems to be a bit of a popular trend in the Vancouver metal scene at the moment and I can't say that I like it much. I have nothing against the use of polyrhythm, arrythm, dissonance and other progressive/avantgarde elements (Gorguts' Obscura album is a personal favourite), but this album simply doesn't do it well and comes off as self-indulgent rather than creative, especially coming from what seems to be essentially a power metal band. In a word, disjointed.
