"Demiurge" and "Behind the Sun" are excellent songs. "Do Not Look Down" has a nice groove. There are interesting bits and pieces scattered around, but the rest is largely nothing of significance.

The biggest uproar of 2012 so far! From what I heard, I have liked it. It just grooves and focuses on the riffs more than the craziness/poly-rhythms that were displayed from Nothing to Catch Thirty-Three. Obzen focused more on grooves as well speed, but this one sounds more stripped down, nothing wrong with that at all. I will have to give this a listen soon.

I don't get why people though 2011 was a disappointment, tons of shit I liked from the year...and 2012, I haven;t paid too much attention yet, but I love the new Pallbearer

@CaptainDooRight

No I think the album is absolutely inspired. To me it's Meshuggah's 3rd best album behind Nothing and DEI. This album is dynamic and has a lot of things going on. I don't see how someone can think it lacks creativity or inspiration.

Anyway, my review of it will be up at midnight on the 23rd

Demiurge is the best song on the album but The Hurt That Finds You First is one of the best too

Sputnik has some silly rule where only Staff can review albums before the actual release date. They'll delete it if I post it now. They say it's a "perk" of being a staff member. Gay

because we can actually get legit promos of things where you guys have to rely on leaks.

Digging: Om - Conference of the Birds

Apparently you're unfamiliar with the concept of a STAFF REVIEWER

Digging: Calibre - Spill

yeah all my legit promos come in nice 320 kbps packages on waffles. thanks labels!

Digging: Bibio - Silver Wilkinson

we've got a system, bro

haha I can actually get a lot of metal promos. Don't really have too many connects for indie stuff.

bro you can post your review now

this album was release today in other parts of the world

sputnik doesn't just go by the us release date, it's when it's released anywhere, usually europe is first

i.e. I posted my rev for Cannibal Corpse 5 days before the US release date because it was already released in Europe

"Apparently you're unfamiliar with the concept of a STAFF REVIEWER"

In what way? I just said apparently only staff can post reviews early. So...?

@Captain, I thought it wasn't 'til the 23rd in Euro. Okay I shall do just that.

Isn't the earliest release in Germany on the 23rd?
