5.0 classicjmh886 | October 11th 13

This site always underrates their albums. I am expecting awesome.

2 Bumps | Bump

0.0 Athom EMERITUS | September 14th 13

Best thing they've done since The Fire in Our Throats but what that means is totally up in the air.

2 Bumps | Bump

4.0 excellentStop calling Intronaut post-metal | October 9th 13

Call it a 3.8/5. In other words, Pelican's best release.

1 Bumps | Bump

3.2 goodErwann S. STAFF | September 16th 19

The remix is heavayyy. I don't really remember the original mix, but this is so crisp. Apart from that, typical Pelican record: enjoyable sludgy post-rock.

Bump

2.5 averagePistolPete | July 26th 17

I'm going to say about Pelican the same thing Paul Pierce said about the Toronto Raptors' disappointing 2015 playoff run: Pelican don't have the 'it' factor. They make mildly enjoyable instrumental post-metal that is by no means unlistenable but is also not in any way memorable.

Bump

2.5 averageEasterInTheBatcave | June 7th 16

Forever Becoming is an enjoyable instrumental release. It's well-performed, and the production is excellent, however it is at times overly repetitious. Some more lead guitar work, or even some vocals, would be welcome during these stretches.

Bump

3.0 goodromanometal1 | December 26th 13

Kinda boring, tbh. Feels like I've heard every riff before.

Bump

4.0 excellentFearThyEvil | October 11th 13

So please tell me I'm not the only one hearing the riff in Vestiges sound almost exactly like Tool's Triad. Album rules btw

Bump

3.5 greatDepartures | October 8th 13

An album of simple jams. They all have roughly the same progression--which gets annoying after a few tracks. Forever Becoming is best on shuffle in small doses.

Bump

0.0 Pankar95 | September 28th 13

Judging from Deny the Absolute and Immutable Task, which Ive already heard, this album sounds very promising.

Bump

3.5 greatIgnimbrite | September 24th 13

well ain't this a pleasant god damned surprise

Bump

3.5 greatEmethyst | September 16th 13

Just to be clear, this is no TFIOTWBTT. The majesty and atmosphere which graced the 2006 release is not here, there is no equivalent to the epic March into the Sea. What Forever Becoming is, however, is a solid release which shows that Pelican still possesses the ability to turn out good post metal in a rapidly stagnating scene.
