"I definitely think 5 stars is a serious fucking stretch, I mean you're basically putting it alongside Metropolis Pt. II and Still Life"



not alongsids them, above them.





"@Flugmorph if this is what you think constitutes metal, you're mistaken.



Just because they don't know how or where to put harsh vocals doesn't count them out of the metal spectrum. I think there's an argument to be made that this barely scratches the surface of metal in two 30 second clips of this whole album, the rest is rock."



these two comments did crack me up quite a bit, not gonna lie šŸ¤”

"I don't think this is even close to being one of their best to date though, The Mountain has still way more memorable melodies in Cockroach King, Falling Back To Earth and Pareidolia; and Visions has just too much staying power with Nocturnal Conspiracy and the title track. Finally, Affinity really falls flat after The Architect, but said song, 1985 and the fantastic closer put it higher in my opinion.



I do think this is better than Aquarius, better than Vector and *kinda* better than Virus. I feel like 3.5/4.0 stars is a pretty good rating for this album, 3.0 and lower would be way to punishing considering how incredible the musicianship is, and 4.5/5.0 is just too exaggerated considering Haken has better albums (which aren't even five-star worthy, maybe The Mountain) and would be putting it alongside albums like Still Life, Metropolis Pt. II and Lateralus where it obviously doesn't belong."



holy shit bro is this your brain on too much prog wankery? calm down lmao

After being surprised by this album, I really need to revisit basically everything else. Iā€™ve only thoroughly listened to Aquarius and skimmed the rest.

Feels a bit like going back to their older style, reminds me of ā€œThe Mountainā€ here and there. Their last two records were my favorites and I think, I prefer both of them over this.

Nonetheless, it's a great album.

2.5 felt too low, enjoyed individual moments but found the songwriting lackluster. Obviously not imperative to creating a good album, but these guys haven't written a decent melody in like a decade.

First impressions prefer this a little to Virus at least.
