By the way, what a generic album name.

This one leaked...and it's definitely an interesting new direction. It's not nearly as swirling and homogeneous as OeS- not nearly as much going on, which should be a welcome relief to some listeners.

Yeah, this will probably be a waste of time for most of you. Check out Præternigma, Disquiet and Halo Of Lamented Glory for the highlights, and certainly don't expect anything close to the level of the debut/Omniquity.

I enjoyed it, but the transitions between songs seem to be horrid. I'll probably give it a 7.5.

Just realised my external soundcard is fucked so deleted my criticisms of this as most of them seem to be on my end.

Yeah, I just realized that the leak quality wasn't that great so my assessment was off a bit as well.

Lol at ajk70's ratings. The average rating he gives is a 9.96. You really gotta shit the bed to get an 8.

I'm a fan boy and I gave this a 7.

There's barely any talk about this. Is it really that bad?

It has its moments, but overall about half of the record is subpar, imo. It's a little boring overall.

If it were that bad there would be more talk about it. It's just that "meh".

Unfortunately, "meh" is the best way to describe this. Listened to it twice a few days ago and I don't plan on revisiting anytime soon.

What the hell have I just listened to.

I mean, there were surely some flashes of brilliance, and also a lot of moments that didn't go beyond the WTF factor. I like my music when it's chaotic and murky, but this is just too much. Overall an interesting listen, though I don't think I'm going to give it another full spin. 6.5 for me.

I really enjoyed this. The sound reminded me of the latest Antediluvian record.

Been relistening to it these days. Don't know what happened since the first time I heard it two years ago, but now it's fuckin clicking somehow. Sorry MS, it just seems we're not on the same wavelength when it comes to this band.
