Talons you're slacking on the Panopticon bro. ;]

Hawks is right, if you 4.5 this you'll probably at least 4 Roads as well.

Roads is great but some of those bluegrass elements are still a little jarring. The one before Kentucky is pretty good, this is still by far my favorite but will jam the first two soon.

S/t has always been my fav. If you dig that one you'll def dig Collapse too, but they're both way different than anything he's done recently.

i'm on this drug called 'a different opinion'

I'm gathering more of a consensus than a few 'different opinions'. I mean it's a good album, that needs a few more listens on my account, but it doesn't really do much different to expand on Roads. There are some really good moments of course but overall I feel this lacks a bit of the intensity from previous records.

Bought this a couple of days ago and I really dig it and the extremely autumn-y vibe it has. Nordvis has some fast shipping to Germany, was surprised. First Panopticon album I ever listened to, really got some catching up to do.

I think you're spot on with it not being as intense as previous records, but only insofar as instrumental intensity is concerned. I think it's much more atmospherically dense than previous entries., which feels like exactly what he was aiming for.
Hurrican, that's what he was shooting for :]

Strongly agree with your comments there, Essence.

I can see where you're coming from. And yes, he probably was aiming for more atmosphere on this one. For me though, it was always about equal parts intensity (instrumentally, as you said) and atmosphere, leaning slightly towards the former. That's how Panopticon works best for me I guess.

Late to the party, but I really like this album more than any of the others I've listened to. Into the North Woods is so beautiful.

Agreed. This, Morbus Chron, and the new Intronaut are probably my favorite metal albums since 2010.

I should jam that Intronaut. Never listened to them before.
|

I liked some of Intronaut's older stuff but the new one doesn't really do it for me.

Dude Hawks you gotta jam them, I'd start with Prehistoricisms. Given how much you love Neurosis and Gorguts I'm sure you'd love them. Not that they're death metal, but a lot of the songwriting can be similar in terms of how off kilter and mind-bending the riffs are.

I played this again the other day while doing some house work and I am loving it more and more. I just barely started listening to this guy a few months ago; this release seems much more straightforward than his other work, which works for and against it, in my opinion.

Yeah I understand where you're coming from. I'd say this release brought the fewest scattering of ideas to the table for him, but it's by far his most focused and polished effort.
