not so much missing the metal as strongly disliking the butt prog - sounded as embarrassing as a latter day Muse album



the 'big statement' lyrics are distractingly terrible and the Floyd aspirations are laughable



not my taste at all this

Minnets yta rules, love the violins, the solo, it's something totally different for them! Glad they decided to shake things up for this one (albeit only a little). Reminds me of the joy that can be found in River. Plus that piano bit is cute.

Yeah Sorceress is still their worst one, I think I can confidently say that now, and I haven't even finished this.

Charlatan was weird but I liked it. Ingen sanning är allas sounds almost like a Studio Ghibli credits track (at least before the riffing starts). Very musical-like. Hmm, this needs some time to sink in, shape-shifting track (excited!).

Ben gave this a lower score than what he gave Sorceress. That kinda discredits this entire review TBH

That part around the 5:00 minute mark is very new for them (Ingen sanning är allas). Glad they have found some new energy. They do sound happier than on Sorceress, that was a band sounding bored/stale. Not so here!

"So I'm being optimistic, according to this page... :/" I hope it grows a bit. I'm willing to give it room.



"This is sounding v cheesey." that's whats prevented me from a higher score...some unexpected cheesy parts...

I give it 3 spins and heart in hand is still best. And the 3min opener is good.

And Lovelorn crime gives me vibes of Mrbungle's California lol
