That little build into the delayed guitar leads on reimagined before the final chorus is so fucking great

I think this is a perfect example of a band expanding and changing on their sound and not sound mediocre. It honestly ticks me off when bands don't want to step out their genre, just look how BTBAM changed it up with Coma

Exoplanet was a boring chug-fest for the most part. Intrinsic found a nice balance but had piss poor proudction, Language was when they found their own sound and Clairvoyant is an expansion on that.

These guys do it every time. The first time I hear an album, I'm bored as fuck. Then it just grows and grows and grows.

More so than Language, this one requires some time. I found an immediate bond with most tracks, then came to find it a bit boring, and then fell in love with it all over again.

I know it's weird, but when Language came out I listened to it and nothing stuck. Then I gave it a chance again later when Language Reimagine came out and the dudes from Skyharbor were hyping it. I gave the original another chance and it blew me away.
Kind of the same thing with this. First listen was a giant meh, maybe even moreso than Language. Then I started listening to it again yesterday, and now I can't stop. I think Lessard is to blame here. He's not doing enough (IMO) that's interesting and immediate enough to grab me. I only get hooked once I start listening to the music.

The dynamism in the vocal department, mainly the lack thereof, is one problem with this record. I think only at the climax of Godspeed do we hear him trying to belt something out. The rest is very subdued. That fits a mood to a point. But it doesn't hold up so well for the entire record.
|

Yeah. Gotta agree with that. That was kind of the problem with Asymmetry and One when I first heard those. I guess it works not to distract from the instrumental layers, but it's counterproductive when you're trying so hard to dig out the vocals that you end up not listening to the instruments.

How can you call Exoplanet a chug fest? Yeah theres chugs (its deathcore), but holy fuck if thats what you take away from the album, woooooosh
albums is dynamic as hell, and songs like Flourish/Oscillator contain great build ups and song writing in general
you don't have to like it obv, but chug fest?

Pretty much agree entirely
It's still one of deathcore's few highlights. Sad, since I don't know if anyone else is going to ever try and push the genre again.

Agreed, and probably not.

Album Rating: 2.5
But I'd argue it doesn't necessarily *push* the genre per se
It certainly does it well, but it doesn't take it somewhere especially different. In fact, the argument could be made that it's more death metal than deathcore really
