Some growls are still there. I like em both tbh.

After just a few days of listening, I can comfortably say this is better than both Carbon-Based Anatomy and Kindly Bent to Free Us. I think if you don't really pay attention to which track you're listening to, you're not gonna get pissed off by the myriad interludes, personally I think they work fine here and idgaf that there's so many

The interludes help tie it all together. I love how conceptual and esoteric the album is - so easy to get lost in it.

The remix without the growls is so wrong agreed. I really hate it, even if the other instruments are supposed to be better it sounds kind of the same to the my plebian ears.

The musical equivalent of a fidget spinner.

nah Cap, it probably ain't a 5. what it is is a triumphant return to form coupled together with a freshness provided by the new guys. this band has a super special place in my heart, and after the death of the 2 Seans I really didn't expect anything so this is still surprising me that it even exists

It took me a solid 30 seconds to have any idea what you were trying to say.

After much hard work...

I agree.

Good review, agree with everything you've said. I love atmosphere building and the general ethereal feel the album/Cynic has, but the interludes aren't really necessary to secure that IMO, regardless of your level of intoxication while listening.



On a side note, the point you make about Masvidal and Reinhart coming out is a good catch; it really wasn't that sensationalised at all, was it?
