Album Rating: 4.0

Only this and Language have been worth it for me with this band. New album is pretty boring and Intrinsic was just flat out bad.

Album Rating: 4.0

even if the songwriting on intrinsic was good the production was awful and ruined any chance of it being listenable

Album Rating: 4.5

^this, they should remaster Intrinsic, my main gripe is the vocal on that album, not a fan

Album Rating: 4.0

I agree. Intrinsic had potential.

Album Rating: 4.5

It was better than Language tbh

Intrinsic felt like a mess on my first listen, but it kinda grew on me. But yea, a remaster would be sweet

Album Rating: 4.5

Doubt we'll live to see that happen unfortunately, or it'll get turned into a post-rock snoozefest

Knowing that there's a current trend in "remastering" metal albums that are like 1 day old and releasing them for the same price, a remaster of Intrinsic cannot be far behind.

Album Rating: 4.0

Solid album for what it is, though the technicality and guitar sound can be a bit annoying at times. The slower moments are my favorites actually.

Album Rating: 4.5

The interplay between the heaviness and the moments of slower, atmospheric moments are what make this so good. It's also what makes Language and Clairvoyant comparatively boring.

Album Rating: 4.0

I actually like Language a lot more haha they pull off slower more moody and atmospheric songs so well. It shows how much better they are compared to shit bands like Periphery.

Album Rating: 4.5

Well to be fair it's very easy to do better than Periphery. The issue is that there are no more "wow" moments to me anymore, rather just a plane of empty, proggy post-rock. Sure, it can do nice things here and then, but nothing like the instrumental break on "Flourish." What makes it so memorable is how it contrasts and builds off of the deathcore-tinged sound that dominated the beginning of the track. They could transition into and out of those atmospheric portions and still hit like a truck. They've since sacrificed that, which was their most attractive quality.

Been jamming Primal Directive a lot the past week, though tbh the second half of the album didn't click as well as the first when I initially played it through. Gonna give it a go again tonight.

Really dug Oscillator, Egress, and Light. Quality shit overall.
