Band can do no wrong, seen them live a couple of times and it was incredible each time.

Jens seems to be struggling slightly nowadays though, he is in his 50's though so can cut him some slack haha.

YES big time. To all of that. Nothing but respect for these guys.



Clockworks is on as we speak.

One of their craziest songs, genuinely eerie vibe as well.

Yeah it's super good.



I'm forever torn between 4.0ing and 4.5ing this one. It certainly is better than a 4.0, but it certainly is less enjoyable to me than Chaosphere/C33/obZen, which are all 4.5s.



Or is it?



Hmmm, perhaps it's actually as good as those... See! There I go again! Impossible to decide on my rating for this. Will re-4.5 and see what happens from there.

I mean, By The Ton alone warrants the 4.5 probably.

I love how restless the t/t is, and the riff that starts at 0:30 or so is lovely too. Reminds me of I a little. And that's a good thing obviously.

restless is a great word, yeah...it's a track you just gotta sink in to - and especially with how bodily rewarding the two surrounding tracks are, that's not necessarily desirable haha

When I saw them live and heard that track "out of context" it opened up for me a lot.

One more of the middle tracks we can pester Pleb about: Ivory Tower. Clearly one of the best ones here!

New single slaps, that breakdown at the end is massive.

Jens sounds really good as well, better than on here tbh.
