Omnerod’s eclectic prog sound has been exuberant right from the start, but time has added polish to their production and maturity to their songwriting. By album number 3, the Belgians have already evolved into a full-fledged beast.

This is going to be incredible. I don't care if my hype burns me in the end.

This is like a mad marriage between David Maxim Micic Devin Townsend and Disillusion. I hardly say this, but I think this might be one of those rare albums for me that require repeated listens to really appreciate every detail. What a release.

The cover art lured me in and the music convinced me to stay. Fascinating stuff. Unpredictable, yet cohesive. Not an "every day" kind of album.

This was such a difficult album to get into. This could very well be my progressive AOTY.

As guys there said before me - a quite hard to get into and I would say a little bit tiresome to listen the whole thing in one sitting, considering lenght and complexity. At first listen I had issue with: "welp, there is a Devin Townsend/Leprous ripoff right there", but the more I listendened to it, the more I realized, that yes, a very clear inspiration/form off mentioned bands is there, BUT, provided complexity and composition makes this much, much more than a simple copy. I had similiar issue with Wilderun's Epigone first few listens and it took a while until I finally "understood it"... Hell, even while listening to the allmighty Opeth you can say " Morbid angel/Camel riff stolen here!" And you would not be wrong... Nevertheless a clear AOTY for me.

Godtier album, on par with Bilateral by Leprous (there's no bigger praise in my world)
On first listen Sunday Heat and Towards The Core instantly captured my heart, plus title track and closer. A couple of more listens made me fall in love with Spore and Magnets. With Satellites it was a long way, but now I can't for the life of me understand how I could have not loved this track on first listen. I'm at the point where the length of the album is not an issue because I adore every second of it!!
So please, give this gem close and repeated attention because no matter what an experienced listener you are - one listen isn't enough to appreciate everything that's going on in this masterpiece of a record!
