I absolutely love this album, think it's a great come back, and I feel like they have incorporated the music trends of the last decade without losing their trademark approach and sound. Pristinie production, too, along with some earworms for vocal lines.



Also, No Case Gains slaps

Gave this another full listen this morning and my feelings still ring true. Going to give it a couple more chances and then probably not return unless something magically clicks amidst all the other great music from this year holding my interest much more

“honey i hate to break this to you, but if this band wanted to cash in, they'd easily be better advised to drop Bedlam II and pander to the pushover jankprog faction of their fanbase so severely butthurt that their favourite gimmick band now records inoffensive everyone-music. they're one of the v few 00s prog bands successful enough to get away with that or with coming back as a cash bow legacy act, and if you're caught the wrong end of the middle finger they've raised at both those options, then you can at least respect the force of the gesture. no-one in their right mind would pull this record in the band's shoes with dollar signs in their eyes“

Can someone find this album painfully average without being part of the "pushover jankprog faction" of their fanbase? Asking for a friend...

This is the most '3' album ever recorded. Good nothing more or less. Enjoying it but quite disappointed.

Lol, pitchfork gave this a 6.5 which is the highest rating they have besides the Tremulant Ep which got a 7. The one interesting take away from the review was getting insight into Cedric's history with Scientology.
