5 feels a little too high imo, but it’s definitely a stellar record. They’ve managed to embody the culmination of the last 10 years of atmospheric metalcore in such a beautiful way. More than that it’s more emotional than I’ve heard from them, vulnerable and raw in a way. Might be album of the year in the genre; will have to see what Currents and Spiritbox bring us before the year’s up. Props to them!

If those two bands are your benchmark a 5/5 here makes perfect sense…

I think Blueshift is working on a new album if djenty metal ore is your jam. Voyager was a great album imo.

No truly awful songs on here imo but if I had to choose a least favorite, Emberglow. Except that riff nothing really exciting happens in it

I'd probably actually say Labyrinthine if I had to pick a single song. It's one of the least atmospheric things here but still has some sick melodies.

Labyrinthine still has more spice than Emberglow, also the ambience during the ending breakdown reminds me of Stillworld so much, was sold on the song after that part

There’s 0 reason why this should run on for 46+ minutes. First few tracks were pretty interesting, lots of variance. But now it’s been 3 straight tracks of “eh it’s ok”

@Gnocci lmao. Sure you’re in the right thread? Sounds like you’re not the target audience for this genre big guy

Album is very good but seems to be a small step down from The Sun Sleeps for me. That EP is still hands down the best Marcus-era release these guys have dropped.
This is very good but Stillworld is still my favourite IA full-length I think, it just has more interesting stuff going on instrumentally and structurally. Also some of the tracklisting choices here are a little odd, like placing Reverie before Immolation of Night is way too jarring imo.
That being said the vast majority of songs on here still absolutely rip. Purity Weeps in particular is an early highlight for me and I love False Meridian. Elysium is still the best of all the singles, with Shade Astray being a very close second. It's definitely a step up from Greyview for me that's for sure.

I feel like Reverie is a bit like an intermission in between two halves, and a well needed break from the frantic pace.

Reverie should have done more, but the album picks up significantly afterwards

This is a big step down from Greyview. None of the vocal melodies are nearly as impactful as they are on Hollow Light, Shapeshifter, Fireside, Halcyon, Nova, and given that the cleans are what Marcus mainly relies on now, they don't feel special anymore.

the clean vocals took a while to grow on me. I prefer when this band was mostly harsh vox but I appreciate the change up

What would you know about what music is a target group for me lol? I saw this hyped on the front page, it's metal, the contrib gang had some earnest 4plus scores on it. I'm a big fan of riffs and headbangin' grooves et al etc - - that doesn't change the fact that this album is a yawn inducer with a few decent to above decent moments sprinkled in.
Further to that, if you had checked my reviews for the more -core aligned albums you'd find some bites for 4plus scores there inc. a Spiritbox album...
tl;dr I prefer my -core in this style more Monument-y
