Finally, a band that applies the extreme metal palette to free improvisation in the vein of ex. Coltrane?s Free Jazz records instead of making purposeless noise.

| 1.5 very poor | Ulsufyring | November 13th 10 |
This is so poor in comparison to what these guys are capable of. It's a culmination of everything wrong with tech genres. Needless wank with no substance whatsoever. Ditching their vocalist was the worst thing they could have ever done. The album is a 40 minute boring jazz influenced, grind influenced jam fest with absolutely zero redeeming features. Every time an interesting moment shows up, LBM take a vicious crap all over it with pointless sweeping or chugging or whatever else. The 5 minute jazz sections aren't very rewarding, either, since because they are bookended by awful metal, they sound incredibly contrived and forced.

A drastic improvement over their first release and one that is more than capable of standing alone without vocals. This is a group that can seriously shred, and they rarely let up. Their experimentation and style makes for a enjoyable listen even while being a bit show-off'ish. The tracks mainly consist of five, six, or seven plus minute jam sessions featuring a incredibly wide array of instrumentation styles (like Flamenco, Jazz, Acoustic, Progressive, etcetera), which should satisfy anyone looking for a complex instrumental record to make them think a little.

These guys can play their asses off. Fans of Behold... The Arctopus or similar instrumetal stuff will dig this. Even the more fusion segments are made listenable through their metallic filter. Great songwriting, instrumentation, presentation, production (at first the mix turned me off, but after a couple listens it made more sense), and album art. Does have moments of "Hey look at me play!" stuff that seems more appropriate for an artist like Steve Vai or Paul Gilbert, but most of it feels like a cohesive group effort.
