    I've been addicted to Where Owls Know My Name for well over a year now. I am finally opening my mind to this album in preparation for The Work!

      Personally, I found this and Where Owls way better than The Work... For me, The Work sounds too commercial and much softer, unfortunately :/

    There's moments here and there throughout the album where there are multiple, competing rhythms happening at once, but it never sounds haphazard. It's a well choreographed fight made out of noise. Nothing is supposed to work this well, but here we are.

    This entire albums feels like I’m laying on my back in the driest, dustiest desert imagineable, being cooked alive by the scorching sun coming down on me. To say this album feels like “summer” in their seasons collection, is an understatement. The guitar tones and thickness of the riffs embodies dry scorching summer heat in my mind.

    As we march
    Into the scars of the earth
    Other circles feel the fear
    All the tension pulls apart, magnetic waves reveal
    And the traces fade
    I am not corporeal
    Pray to be unmade
    And absorbed into the light
    Everybody be as one
    Suffering only in the mind
    Coalesce into the none
    If you worshiped only the real
    Would you change how you feel?
    Do you believe you're truly at one?
    Or would you bargain for another day beneath the sun?
    Do you regret?
    Do you feel?
    Do you own what you've done?
    And I saw those circles shrinking
    Missing the fear that once drove them
    To separate us from what we are
    And the traces fade
    We are not corporeal
    Pray to be remade
    And absorbed into the light
    Everybody be as one
    Suffering only in the mind
    Coalesce into the none

      @TeCrayShawn Johnson its not that good sadly the two singles suck. Compared to this and Owls. i heard a third song that sounds like old Rivers like Suntold but very slim hope they are focusing on simpler melodies and not at technical solos or outros its honestly amazes me the step back they took when they were playing the "Pink Floyd of Metal".

    • @b-rg7516
      @b-rg7516 3 роки тому

      it happened to me that I knew them by Owls, and took a while to listen this and the first album... I found them more difficult to listen than Owls, but now I think they are, at least. as good as it... Ears just need time to appreciate it xD
      Still, I find the last album, Works, by far not as good as the previous 3, unfortunately.
