“This is what focus should have sounded like”

Why though

This already sounds like this

And Focus is already an incredibly unique and legendary album the way it is

Also, the musicianship and composition present on Focus was already pretty uniquely developed and part of Cynic's own sound. This is a completely different animal.

not a huge fan of focus. i like the insanity and dissonance more here. a lot of the samples they threw into focus seem like they're just there for shock value

And Focus does not aim for that. That said, it's just as excellent compositionally.

Nothing alike... even if I agree that Focus is/was underwhelming.

This is flawless and Focus is crap***



Well, I don't really think Focus is crap. It's decent and has its moments -- but this is amazing. You really think this is bad though?
