Yeah. That is such a solid track. There are solid moments throughout the rest of the album. The closing instrumental is a highlight for me as well.

This feature informed me of this band. I really liked this album and the one with the eyeball cover. I'm surprised I'd never heard of them before, as a big Opeth and Porcupine Tree fan.

Cheers, Blizzink! Glad to learn the review is helping to get the word about these guys. They have some excellent music. If you like this and Opeth, you may like some of the other Scandinavian progressive/prog-metal bands. If you haven't heard them already, I would definitely recommend In Mourning and pretty much anything involving Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity, Nightingale) for progressive metal.

Änglagård, Wobbler, Sinkadus, Kaipa and Kebnekaise are good examples of the lighter, proggier side of the spectrum.

Good album, I think I prefer this to Opeth's newest effort of bringing back the 70's prog sound. It sounds less forced. But maybe I'm just biased because I'll never be happy about Opeth's drastic new change of sound.
Good review too, just one small thing:
"Throughout these six, new songs," Looks like you have an extra comma here.

Thanks for the feedback, supreme! I'm still pretty new to writing reviews, so critiques are appreciated.
Agreed. These guys know how to create the prog sound and it shows here. And I know what you mean about Opeth. Their change of direction has not settled well with many people. I wonder what the reaction would be if they returned to an earlier sound?

I think anyone that was for the new sound would just have to go back to listening to their 70's albums (or this album), and it would be the Second Coming for all of Sputnik.

^For sure. Shooting Star is one of my favorite openers from this year so far.

After spinning this a few more times, I've started feeling like the Opeth comparisons I made in the review are a little unfair. Sure, some ex-Opeth personnel appear here, but the music seems darker, hazier, and more melancholic than Opeth's recent output, which I feel contains more elements from the eccentric, technical side of prog.

Great bump. I listened to a couple of the earlier ones but this sounded more cohesive. Need to sit on them more.
