yea agred yoyo, they're masters of dynamics which is what makes them so enjoyable, they know how to carry riffs and transition them into something so great

this album wasn't held down by genre restrictions or anything like that and almost every riff is as fresh as the next

I can guarantee you chuck would dig this album so hard if he herd it

I actually really like the mood and feel of Geography, it's more like an outro to the previous track but its sexy and the distorted build up transition towards the end is perfectly fitting given the context

And yea Marid is truth, mindle knows I dig water effects so hard in music and that rising acoustic riff that overtakes the atmosphere is zoney and emotional. This is a perfect track displaying the use of intervals in that the breaks and pauses convey that spacious theory that some classical artists would make use. Hard to explain but amazing feel for sure.

I love geography to def

yeah they don't sound like they're "incorporating" a lot of genres, it just sounds like they started at the drawing board and intentionally forgot genres existed

Album Rating: 5.0

yeah the beginning of Marid transcends incredibly hard

this album's best moments are actually probably the quietest

Digging: Agnostic Front - Victim In Pain

"it just sounds like they started at the drawing board and intentionally forgot genres existed"

precisely, and it seems they also forgot other bands existed too because this doesn't sound like anything I've heard before and they clearly went for a groundbreaking approach. More bands need to learn to utilize this albums theoretical approach of allowing a free flowing atitude without being afraid to go as far as they need to express a certain idea or emotion if that makes sense.

Yeah, that statement is so true
Kayo, on the other hand, sounds like he took the drawing board and turned it into a wormhole

Album Rating: 5.0

No, I actually enjoyed it but what I meant was as time goes on I've been becoming more open minded and have been able to absorb things better with greater understanding. So although I enjoyed it I may actually enjoy it even more this time around.

Ah, I get you; I feel that way too
I really want to hear Gamma Knife, but I'm going through chronologically, so Coyote comes first

and swee thread i agree that the album has an uninfluenced feel to it
