You know, I have been using Sputnik for years now. I frequent this site every day of my life, it has proven to be a reliable go-to for finding new music and reading what others have to say about it. But there is one person on this website who proves to be overzealous in their opinion, they have zero objectivity, they are almost always negative, and they seem to believe that their opinion denounces and overthrows everyone else, and that is LordePots. His horse is so high that I am surprised he can read the reviews at all. I love everyone else that contributes to the community of Sputnik, but that fucking guy needs a reality check, his ego could use some serious deflating.... sorry LordePots, you're not as cool and correct as you imagine yourself to be. I wonder how many mirrors he has in his room...

Anyways, this is awesome. I prefer it to their debut, though I'm not sure if it's on the level of Ape of God I & II from Old Man Gloom.

I think SUMAC is trying to be more 'straight forward' than OMG. The difference between OMG's first and second albums is drastic stylistically, in my opinion, and I feel like that project is headed down an almost Animal Collective-ish path.

"I think SUMAC is trying to be more 'straight forward' than OMG. The difference between OMG's first and second albums is drastic stylistically, in my opinion, and I feel like that project is headed down an almost Animal Collective-ish path."
Can definitely hear that. Also, since No they have improved the atmospheric breaks. The intermissions were hard to get used to at first because they felt a bit jarring at times (specially on the first album), but I loved how they are incorporated on The Ape of God I & II.
As you said, Sumac has much less of that which I like. Their debut is probably around a 3.5/4 to me, and this seems to be just as good. Not groundbreaking, but incredibly solid.
On a side note, I read rollingstone magazine ranked The Ape of God albums 4th on best metal of 2014. I'm glad Turner is still getting recognition outside of Isis.

´The Deal´ was boring as fuck. This thing is another beast entirely.

My first impressions of it were underwhelming. Maybe I´ll give another go this week. But this record is fucking great.

i'm digging this pretty hard. some of the ambient sections drag on a bit too long imo, but the riffs and drumming are so good. kurt did a great job on the production too.

I liked The Deal so should def be down with this

I only listened to this once so far but I remember thinking it was a little aimless and overlong for a lot of parts unfortunately. Have to give it some more listens but The Deal hit me harder than this on first listen

It grows on you, but yeah I had a similar impression as yours. This has more of (what I consider) a conventional Turner approach, with the spacey ambient sections and whatnot, where The Deal felt much more straightforward.

I appreciate the room to breathe on this one; without it it might feel suffocating.

sumac is so fucking good in spice rubs.
wish i could say it's good in my cd player too, but alas, it isn't.

I don't think the "breather" moments here add anything to the songs at all... It needed to be more overwhelming IMO.

Wait, Kurt produced this too? What won't that guy touch?
