To be fair to Sanguisugabogg their guitarist is queer.

So are you telling me that Cynic is more than a LGBT band that Placebo is, even though they are a tech death metal band?? HOLY SHIT

fuck yes space goodness



and Rodrigo, I wouldn't really call Cynic an LGBT band, they only came out really late in their career and never put much emphasis on it in their songs or messages, whereas Placebo literally ran that shtick since their beginnings

That riff theme from the winged ones is so darn good. Might be my favourite part of this album

In my experience, the code to ascension is take a Cialis and wait 45 minutes

Lol chill the interludes are like sixteen seconds each, just think of them as part of the main track that comes before or after. Its not like some bands that have a bunch of interludes that are two and a half minutes and are like beep boop noises

Mmm the main reason these interludes are 'pointless' is that it's so easy to forget they exist, which I guess is a either a good thing or a whatever thing, but not really a bad thing

Unlike that Tool bollox

Yeah I love Tool but some of their interludes a laughable in how misplaced they feel at times. Take Fear Inoculum for instance, the interludes on there are especially uninteresting and even seem dishonest in favor of a higher stream count

I really don't think this should have been released as a Cynic album. Continuing the band after Reinert and Malone's deaths just feels...wrong.

Traced in Air should have been the last album under the Cynic name tbh



I do still enjoy this a lot though
