This album is fkn mesmerizing but it lacks the punch of the previous two and the song structures feel much more aleatory, whereas on Oceanic/Panopticon the songs all seemed meticulously planned out. It's hardly a criticism though. Dulcinea and Garden of Light are two of their greatest songs. And two of the greatest songs in general for that matter.

aleatory

I'mma have to remember that one. I've run across a few good words lately, like septentrional (of the north).

Not in Rivers, but in Drops and 1000 Shards are both god tier tracks.

Drumming is on par with Lateralus' magic easily. BallsDeep is right about previous albums feeling more focused structurally but i still put this on equal with Wavering Radiant for best ISIS, imo.

This ain't my favorite Isis album (that'd be Panopticon), but goddamn...Garden of Light is my favorite Isis song ever.

Yes, I've seen it over a thousand times. It's amazing how it all synchronizes together perfectly and how closely it encapsulates what I visualize in my head when I listen to the song.
