Album Rating: 4.0

^ I agree. I find it odd that this is the direction they went in immediately after Focus. This does sound like it belongs right when it was rereleased (post-Carbon Based).

"Yeah, but I still stick by my statement that this sounds like it could have easily come after Carbon-Based."



I agree with this as far as the overall vibe/atmosphere goes for sure. I think it has an older feel as far as composition goes though, It's a little more predictable than their other albums I think.

arunas keyboard solo in circle rapes all

some songs here are the same ones from focus remaster right?

yup cosmos, circle and endless endeavors were on the focus remaster

"Circle" rapes hard in general.



I disagree with it being placed as a logical step after Carbon, though. Both are degrees of experimentation away from Traced, but I think they're in different directions.

Would've liked this a lot more without Aruna Abrams' vocals. I find her treatment of melody to be
really boring... Female vocals in metal often seem to have this problem. :/

sexist

sexist

isnt she a qt

fuck this is gay what the fuck is the last track

not metal 1.6/5

agreed everything gets so boring and one-dimensional so you will eventually fall alseep... by BOREDOM!!!

It's almost as if you read my mind kill

Album Rating: 4.5

Super good, I think I'm probably in the minority in that I really dig mellow Cynic over Hard Rocky Cynic.

man what happened to Aruna she like disappeared

is this exactly the same as portal 1995 demo?

jam the demo version dude its more elite

Circle is such a jam.

circle is absolutely gorgeous! these songs contrast so well with focus, its amazing. they maintain that sick production but create a much calmer headspace
