Imagine the best of their previous works compiled into one album. The overall sound is more on the side of Fragments, not Formshifter, with Ezra's vocals reminding me almost of their EP. The composition is perfect and the solos are great. More melodic than Formshifter while retaining technical aspects, this is the most refined and mature Allegaeon release to date.

A "greater than the sum of it's parts" situation in which rehashed ideas come together in ways much catchier and more compelling than they have any right to be. I don't see a wealth of creativity but, in the best moments, the magic of execution makes this throughly enjoyable.

More melodic than form shifter, yet technical as ever, solo work is fantastic while the riffs remain great as they've always been with this band. Vocals definitely have some great range on this album, with the lows sounding like Dying fetus and the highs sounding very Gothenburg. Standout album of 2014, especially in the ever popular technical metal movement.

Thrashy, melodic semi-technical death metal. I can't compare it to their older albums because I haven't heard them, but this one is definitely solid.

More aggressive than the previous album (mainly due to Ezra's performance), but keeping all the technical and melodic components that separate the band from the rest of the modern technical death metal pack, "Elements of the Infinite" is another pretty solid release from one of the most talented bands around.

The only real redeeming quality of this album is its great technical solos. Other than that, it sounds like any other generic deathcore band.

Great musicianship. The guitarwork is pretty dope. Album is littered with great solos and the songs get pretty frenetic. It's hard not to bang your head to some of these tunes. rAll that being said, I don't think this album has a lot of staying power. While a lot of the songs are good, I can really only think of one song I'd pick out and play by itself again. That song being 1.618, which is very catchy and memorable in contrast to the rest of the album. rGood, not great, album.

This is honestly their best album to date. Much better compositions and wholly a lot more memorable.
