Between the 90s production, new age/synth elements, robot vocals, and lack of actual heaviness, there's a lot to accept in order to get into this.

Agalloch's Don Anderson on when or if he was hit by an album that completely changed what he thought about music:

"It’s hard to narrow it to just one, but the album that came to my mind when you asked that question would probably be Cynic’s Focus. Because when I took guitar lessons I studied very strict jazz with a jazz guitarist. And because I wanted to be a lead guitarist, I spent a lot of time learning scales, learning the modes, improvising, and soloing. So when I heard genuinely jazz-influenced death metal it blew my mind and it opened up the possibilities of what extreme music could be. And also it was the record that, when I first heard it, the moment the sort of jazz break happens, about a minute into “Veil of Maya,” it was as if I was hit by a train. I couldn't believe that this band was playing what sounded like deliberate and sincere jazz. It wasn't just jazz-influenced death metal, it was very well integrated."
