i think the only thing i don't like about this album is the ending to track 1 and how it flows into track 2 - it makes no sense and goes against the overall slow-moving atmosphere of the record. to have a fade-out when the song was just building and then an abrupt start to another track just doesn't work.



otherwise i think this is near flawless. there's a lot of subtlety to these songs that isn't immediately apparent.

I just realized that "Mobilis in Mobili" starts with the same chime as The Beach Boys' "Sloop John B"



coincidence? I think not.

Yap probably a 5, in time

yeah i think this could be their best, but i have the unpopular opinion that 'the divinity of oceans' is their best. this is good enough to overtake it in time though. it feels like the true follow up to that album we never got.

Album Rating: 5.0

Dude I love Divinity of Oceans so much. I need to sink them in (lol) but I think its more subtle than the proclaimed debut. Both incredible though. I can see why, for the ones that followed Ahab since the begining, feel the debut as the most impactful.

i feel the ship had kinda sailed for me by the time i heard the debut (hehehe puns). the biggest draw is how heavy it is and by the point i got around to that album i'd just heard many others like it. by comparison the divinity of oceans offered something wholly unique which is why i love it as much as i do - as well as this album.

but the choirs, man. they pared back the keys and lost some of the spookiness from Wretched Sea.

Album Rating: 3.5

Deeefinitely miss those keys

If those 2 are comparable, this is a completely different beast

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

i do not miss the keys ahahaha



different strokes ig?

Yeah I'm with Seven, they had a much better sound/style with the first two albums. Don't particularly care for the direction they went afterwards but it's still really well executed.

Album Rating: 3.5

I think these last three are great, but they aren't as unique. like, those first two just had an unearthly, monolithic sound/mix/style to them. the guitars weren't just heavy, they were oppressive. I think Oak (PT) is probably the closest to it right now.

i don't really see those albums that way, honestly. it's not what i got out of them.

Album Rating: 5.0

This is their most unique on a broader picture imo. First 2 are not very far from esoteric f.e..

Dudes wake up on how the concept is treated here. How Mobilis in Mobili sounds like it, throwing movement underseas. Sea as desert, while it keeps their submersive theme, weird deep heavy calm, it also brings desert tunes...I'm really fkin woooed by this. I'm not in a storm or catching whales anymore, I'm under deep water, deceivingly calm, heavy and misterious. The writing is clever and unformulaic. A journey in every sense of the word (such as as their first 2 albums I must say here)

It kinda sucks taking credit out on brilliance, only because you expect their old sound. I'm sorry but "I miss their old sound" is not a valid answer lol

Also tks for the portuguese rec bro. Never eard of them. Kinda stoked to get on them.

Album Rating: 3.5

I'm really splitting hairs since all their albums are 4+ for me (and I suspect this one will end there, once what you're talking about sinks in). I was also that guy who misses the keyboards in the Drudkh thread.

Best Ahab, followed by The Giant

Album Rating: 5.0

I will leave Ahab for a while. I just need to move on. Its hard af cause I still feel the urge to go back to this at all times.



I work in a 200 ppl contact center as supervisor, and early this week a 44 year old man died in front of all of us (heart attack). I used to speak to him like every day. Needless to say every one is still shocked and, personally (you guys get it more than anyone) this album as been helpful af. I'll move on, for now, but will be back in order to 5 it.
