| 3.0 good | loves uplifting twinkly bs | June 18th 15 |
Sounds like the progression I expected after ADOM. Much more of a hardcore styled album rand less post metal this time. May need to do some more growing but overall solid and better than the anaesthete. "Untitled iii" and "Nothing in the guise of something" rare standouts.

the harsh vox are very monotonous, but the instrumentals and the inclusion of clean vox are amazing. new guitarist and vocals are very welcomed additions

melnadaid, you are another idiot talking shit about a band you obviously know nothing about. Look
at the averages for their albums. You really think this is a shit band? Yes their last EP and
album were hit and miss but I bet you wouldn't be able to get through any of their older albums
with the understanding of why they are rated so high. Go back and listen to music you know like
emo and hip-hop but be careful insulting a great post-metal band, a genre you know nothing about.

I don't get why Rosetta fans mostly consider this album their worst. Because it's not riff-oriented? Not enough distortion? This is easily their MOST energetic, MOST emotionally inspired, MOST aesthetically and compositionally cohesive and tight album. TGS is mundane and overblown, Wake/Lift is not nearly as intense and tight as this, it has lots of blind spots, the rest is just weaker in terms of songwriting album-wise. The way these songs here flow, it just carries me away each time, every single transition is just in its right place, no motif overstays its welcome, no overplayed crescendo, and God how phenomenal those guitar melodies are. Armine's screams are not overused and appear right where they are needed always pushing the song in right direction, Eric's vocals are very natural and complimenting to the sound. Meaningful and empathetic lyricism here. I love how intuitive this album is also, it's never overthought production- and songwriting-wise, always retaining this jammy vibe, flowing naturally. I just can't understand what are the dislikers' claims. Even what they supposedly could be. I'm convinced it's their best album.

Definitely the best album art they've come up with. Fast and brutal music that slays for days.

Slightly more consistent than ADOM, but then, ADOM had a standout song in its title track. Nothing is on that level here. Eric Jernigan's vocals aren't the best fit but everything else seems naturally Rosetta (perhaps cleaner).

Very atmospheric and chill post metal with occasional bits that sound more like traditional post metal aggression.

i'm in two minds about this record. there's some great compositions here, true, but i feel that instead of actually progressing they're just doing their best to hide the fact that they're not. they're condensing their tracks, yeah, but it's still the same basic formula over and over again - 5 minutes of noodling, power chords, end song. it gets a bit distracting.

Absolutely stunning. This is the record I was hoping they would make one day.

"Essential things"
What an album title..............
Edit: sorry barber, I didn't bother to double-check my definitions with dictionaries and what-not... My bad, I guess.
