good lord Mytho, you hit the nail on the head

"production is very clean, to the limit of synthetic"

thisthisthis. why can't bands just dabble in a bit of imperfection? squeaky clean =/= good

really don't know. Being in a prog metal band in the making rn, and I see how easy it is to write songs in that manner. Like, it needs thought to AVOID sounding like that.

Some wretch-inducing stuff there Mytho, no wonder modern prog is mostly terrible. Good take.

I hope Rishloo put out the best album of the century in 2021... Or I find a band that sounds like them to quench my thirst...

new Rishloo sounds like heaven right about now...

Man I just love the classic prog vibes mixed with the occult aesthetic. Album is really fun, lots of great moments

Before this decade Opeth were doing that with progressive metal, instead of primarily classic prog rock like it's been in the 2010s, and I love the atmosphere of all of it.

I feel like people would hate my Opeth ranking lol

Sounds better, wish the download was smaller than 1,000 freaking megabytes.

Ok so - I finally got the vinyl after hearing it was significantly better than the cd/digital and no joke, I think I like this album now. The mix/master sounds bad on everything besides vinyl in my opinion.

The Ward is such a bop
