Love this so far.

After listening again, I think my biggest problem with this album is that a lot of the songs are kind of boring, but then they have one section spliced in which sounds really amazing.

I see what you’re saying yea.

Probably due to that fifty one minute run time

I don't know, this is just not grabbing me too much as of yet. I appreciate how they've trimmed the fat and cut the album length down a bit, but the songs are just not very interesting to me. Maybe it'll grow, for now it's the weakest sylosis to me.

This is probs my favorite of theirs since their debut. Doesn't sound as punchy in the production, which is a bit of a shame

It's better than their last 2 efforts. I Sever and Shield are fantastic.

listening to this album is just a new cycle of suffering when listening to the band's discog

Been noticing lately that I don't really think any of the melodeath/metalcore bands that are at the top of the game haven't really been pushing the envelope innovation-wise. The melodeath sound at its best still sounds about the same that it did 10 or even 20 years ago. The lack of innovation in the genre kinda shows itself on this record since Sylosis IS one of the top-flight bands in the genre and this album doesn't introduce anything we haven't already heard from them. It's still really great, but I think this is one of the more stale genres going into 2020. I gotta listen to the album again but I didn't find anything worth hooting and hollering over on first listen. Slapping a 3 on this until I do.

found this pretty unmemorable. some neat leads here and there but otherwise just a blur of thrash riffs

This one definitely seems to be a grower. Was really underwhelmed on first listen despite loving the two singles, but after my sixth or seventh playthrough I'm starting to really dig it. Not as good as Edge of the Earth or Conclusions of an Age but probably better than Monolith and definitely much better than Dormant Heart. That solo at the end of Devil in their eyes is so tasty, Josh knows how to write a damn good melodic solo.

Invidia and Idle hands both have these amazing melodic bridges/segments about halfway through the song which sound so incredible. Too bad the other parts of the song are kinda meh.
|

I always found with everything I ever heard from Sylosis that the guitars tended to flit between brilliant melodic sections and generic thrash sections. I'm inclined to check this out but I will hold off for another time I think haha.
Cryforsilence were always a much more interesting listen for me. Their use of 7-string guitars and their chops were so much more creative.

Agreed Apathya, after about ten listens through now I am really liking this album. I would rank Sylosis albums:
1 - Edge of the Earth
2 - Monolith
3 - Cycle of Suffering
4 - Conclusions of an Age
5 - Dormant Heart - not a bad album but doesn't have great replay value.
Don't think they will ever top Edge of the Earth, that album is just a masterpiece in every way.
