Kneel before the gods of post rock. The attention to detail on this record is incredible.
The addition of strings really pushed their sound in the right direction. The whole album is
just without flaws.

Good album to study/work to. Post-rock/ambient record with some strings additions that makes it sound like Mono at time (eg. Resolve).

This album has a brilliant compositional cohesion, it's a soundtrack to the emotional algorithm of a man facing struggle (problem->reaction->solution). The emotional sequence is delivered precisely: "BTWS" is a soundtrack for anxiety (where it all begins, where we notice and realize a problem), "Emergent" is a voice of desperation (where we start to reflect on a problem and how to deal with it), "Magna Carta" is a pounding march of strife (where we decide to counteract), "Harmonia" is a glimpse of melancholic and nostalgic hope (where we get an emotional charge for subsequent actions) and "Resolve" is... is just a resolve, it's an action, a response to a trouble, where we clash all these emotions together. The first half of this track, steady and repetitive, symbolyzes an action, a counteract to a trouble itself, and the gorgeous final minutes carry a culminative emotional tension leading to a conclusion, a barren calm of two closing tracks that move from "Darkness" in its creeping uncertainty (a reflection on consequences) to an eponymous track, which is coloured in some pretty brighter tones revealing some kind of a happy-end. It may sound as a general compositional symbol, but it's surely not, you just need to listen to this album whole and capture all these emotions track-by-track to get it.rAlthough each song is terrific, "Harmonia" is just something else. The way it combines all of its elements, it just rips me apart every time.

Jakob is one of my favorite bands of all time. Whatever they release has touched me with its grace, beauty, turbulence, complexity, and expoeriementation. After three spectacular albums, I doubted the idea that they could ever outperform themselves. I am glad to see that they have proved me wrong. Sines is simply pure perfection. I just cannot name one standout track, as each song is a journey through the senses and emotions like few others. The world is clearly in need of a band like Jakob. Our Napier, NZ-based friends deserve so much more recognition.
