3 great songs followed by a decent one, followed by 2 awesome songs.

Autumn is the weakest song on the album. The last song has it's moment, but is too long.



Great album.

This is incredibly solid, The Tempest is one of the best songs I've heard all year.

I feel 4 might be too strong for it, i feel its missing one more great track with a strong chorus like songs for no one or turntail etc. Its pretty good, Salt loses me a bit though, autumn is ok but not amazing for me and actually the ascent similarly is good without really being good. 3.5 with the description 'Great' sounds adequate to me

This starts strong. I wasn't too sold on the last one but this is good so far.

Sounds like the bastard child of Soen and Tesseract.

I wish they were a bit more agressive though and dwell less in those quiet parts. They are pretty good when they get heavy.

I'm pretty lukewarm on those bands. I (used to?) love this band. Sucks for me, I guess.

I have to agree the instrumentals are less catchy here than on their previous material. A song like Graves was full of memorable instrumental moments and melodies. Songs like Autumn and Slow Violence are memorable because of the vocals. I still like thema lot, but I see where you are coming from, wildinferno.

Never listened to Soen and I'm not the biggest fan of TesseracT tbh. C-Horse has better songs and better songwriting in general.

Singer specially reminds me of Soen's. Also the quiet parts.

The spoken/whispered parts remind me of Pain of Salvation and Tool. Jim is such a great vocalist

You should check Soen, Kalk, the singer is also usually compared with Keenan.

Maybe I should give them a shot. Where should I start?

Lykaia or Tellurian, I guess. Although my favorite of them is their last one, Lotus.

They used to be accused of being an Opeth / Tool copycat but in Lotus they found their mojo imo.

Soen are excellent, but I wouldn't say that CH's sound is secondary or borrowed. CH pretty much had their own sound from the debut, which came out before Soen's.



I think Caligula's Horse were already a few albums in before Soen even found their own stride.

Really, I don't think they sound that similar anyway... other than playing in the same genre.

Soen are not djentlemen that's for sure, just the singer reminds me of Soen's.

Yea, I guess CH are djenty in a way. But more along the lines of Leprous... I don't see the Tesseract relationship either.

Yeah I agree! Leprous is a better comparison than Tesseract.
