This is rad but I like Focus more. Wish the growls were more prominent

Yea Kindly Bent was kind of embarrassing. Really not liking that direction at all.

Zeno have you heard their demo compilation?

I prefer it to Focus as well

Album Rating: 2.5

I honestly thought I would like Cynic more without those intrusive robot vox, but these cleans are somehow just as bad.

Album Rating: 2.5

But, I do like the songwriting a little more here

I wanna put this in Audacity and crank the harsh vox way up

Used to but grew off me years ago sadly.

Ah I see. I had the opposite effect. Was immediately turned off by the "strange" vocals of these guys, especially on Focus, but these guys really grew on me, including this. To each their own though.

Some good material but otherwise inferior to Focus.

The drum production here is top notch.

Tymon Kruidenier, who played guitar and sang backup vocals on this album, is in a supergroup with another past member of Cynic, just wrote a review for it:

For anyone familiar with Exivious, this is the project Tymon started afterwards. Exivious got discontinued recently and he's gonna release more music under Our Oceans.

Anyone who likes this should also check Aghora immediately if they haven't.
