    II is probably my favorite because of how well it fades into Circles. IV is such a great track on its own

    fun fact : terrestria IV ends on the same note as terrestria I is starting .

    I think Terrestria 4 is the best song they've ever written. It combines elements of all 4 of the albums, and completes the cycle.

    I think Where Owls Know My Name is just such a great album that it was hard to follow. The Work is good but dang WOKMN is great. That said, IV might be my favorite of these four tracks.

    Just realized Terrestria IV is the same length as I, II, and III combined. Wonder if there’s any significance to that.

    I’ve been listening to all four albums back to back in chronological order, it really does a lot to highlight the thematic differences of each one for me, and how much the band has changed and advanced in composition.
    I wanna know how they’ll progress from here, but of course it’ll take a few years. Or maybe they’ll call it quits, who knows

    • @reivaxyec1118
      @reivaxyec1118  3 роки тому +6

      I discovered Rivers of Nihil not long ago, with Where Owls Know My Name, and I immediately liked it. I quickly discovered Monarchy, then The Conscious Seed of Light.
      So I discovered everything out of order, but I must say that I really like the progression in time from the 1st to the 3rd album, and now to The Work.
      What I tend to listen to is closer to the 1st album, and it's very different between the 1st and the last, but everything is so well done!

    • @milkman2266
      @milkman2266 3 роки тому +1

      The work really sounding like a farewell album to me, don’t know if the band is going to end completely or if maybe a member or two plans on leaving and calling it quits but it really sounded like a farewell to me. Unless it was just meant as a farewell to this four seasons album thing they were doing

      @herrodinssohn4285 3 роки тому

      @@milkman2266 I think after the second last track on The Work, the album could have ended just fine. Terrestria IV gives me in some parts slight WOKMN vibes. Also the title Terrestria connects all their albums to make them look like a series. All that makes Terrestria IV feel to me like a post credit scene. So i feel like there has to be a continuation.

      well, Work ends like Thaw starts, it has the same motif. so there's that at least. If I am not mistaken, also a small portion might be in Thrive, but not as prominent.

    • @reivaxyec1118

    Lyrics:
    *
    Spring is here, may the fires of life dance forever / In summer, the sun will guide us to the sea / And with fall, frailty/
    *
    Stay
    Awake
    This winter is not forgiving
    Stay
    Awake
    Our work is never ending
    Hurtling toward apathy
    I can't stay awake for the life of me
    Succumb to the pressure (Pressure)
    Give in to the silence and serenity
    It's not like it matters
    No hope, no sense of security
    Watch my mind scatter
    We're all less than what we're meant to be
    (Hallelujah) My world is static grey
    (Hallelujah) Watch it all decay
    (Hallelujah)
    This world is static grey, watch it all fade away
    (Hallelujah) My heroes fade away
    (Hallelujah) Launch them into space
    (Hallelujah)
    My heroes static grey, launch them all into space
    Beyond the void from which no fucking sound escapes
    Let's do this work
    This tower's crumbling
    There's no more riches to obtain
    We're just caught in this cycle
    This old tower's crumbling
    This whole thing is coming down
    Hold your hands and pray
    We worship static grey
    While we work the days away
    Hallelujah
    Let the work be done
    We're all caught in an endless cycle
    It feels like a premonition
    You've seen it all before
    It's knocking at the door
    Bury me so I might grow
    What's the use, we're dying so slow
    There's so much tension in here
    But no release is near
    I can only push this thing so far
    These words
    A jumbled translation
    Of the beauty that we live
    (Of the beauty that we live)
    Even when it's paycheck to paycheck
    Can we make it out alive?
    Will we ever see the other side?
    Are we really who we're meant to be?
    Slow down, just do this work with me
    Are we still alive? (Still alive)
    Still alive
    Will we ever see the other side?
    Will we ever see the other side?
    Do the work
    (also, Thaw is to (cause to) change from a solid, frozen state to a liquid or soft one, because of an increase in temperature, so technically everything comes full circle and its beautiful)
