I'm really not getting this record. Yes, it's crazy and complex, but it doesn't make me feel shit when listening to this.



3 for the effort, which is undeniably good.

Ah, the BTBAM-effect.

Also, the vocals aren't shit like BTBAM's, the songs aren't needlessly 15 minutes long, the riffing works together much better...



Basically BTBAM should sound like this.



Also, boobs.

Apparently, I am hearing something quite different, because I can't stand BTBAM and I love this. I really see no similarities at all.

I don't like BTBAM (they're like a 3 at best) so I'm glad this doesn't sound like BTBAM.

This reminds me of BTBAM simply because this album reminds me of when that band wrote songs and when they gave that up to become as spastic as they possibly could

Cool review, really focused entirely on the music which was nice. I had a feeling this was going to be right up my alley and so far I was definitely right. Never heard of this band before but I'm really digging the sound on this. It's just really unique and engaging on first listen.

It's definitely chaotic and sporadic but I feel like the key to the songwriting is that they sprinkle straightforward, accessible moments throughout the album that anchor everything else. Chaos is alright on it's own but when it's regularly contrasted with moments that bring everything back down to earth, it becomes so much more powerful and enjoyable for me. When you're given breaks from the insanity, it allows you to really revel in it when it comes back into play. I feel like this band definitely has an understanding of that concept. Oh and the bass is absolutely delicious on this.

Didn't know Leïlindel did some of the high-pitched growls. Cute.

A little too late to answer to Mr. SIlveri, but I see your point. I can now feel it.. Sure, they've upgraded a lot of thing but they've lost a something that I cannot pinpoint for now.



And Dev, your "sounds like" is pretty much spot on.



And for the haters saying there is too much that happen at the same time or that there is two songs in one, you clearly doesn't listen to a lot of music because there is more complex music in this world.

Seriously fuck the person that changed the genre for a band once again. Now it's metal as primary. If this continues I have only metal left in my pie chart.. Fucking annoying ugh.
