Wish there were actual harsh vocals on this album, it would have fit better with some of the parts. But still this riffs hard.

The guitars are a little bit low in the mix but you can still hear em pretty well, they just made the vocals louder which is kind of annoying.

Vox really weren't bad at all, biggest problem I have with this is that it just takes the ideas on valley of smoke and simplifies them even further

Album Rating: 4.0

you think?



it seems generally more complex than valley, especially the drumming.

Album Rating: 4.0

kinda agreed with MeatSalad, I feel like VoS was very cohesive and this seems to be similar only the ideas don't come together as well

"Yet Intronaut’s most blatant change-- utilizing vocalist Sacha Dunable for exclusively singing-- is a decision that severely dampens the group’s fourth studio outing."



From Intronaut: "We find it interesting that so many reviews are mentioning Sacha as the band's sole vocalist on the new record when Dave sings just as much, if not more, on 'Habitual'."



Just saying...

The research I did suggested otherwise, but I'll make the edit soon

"The research I did suggested otherwise"



you just can't get good help these days.

Is this supposed to be an "oh, gotcha!" moment? I made a mistake in my review, and I appreciate you pointing it out. Now it's all straightened out though

Album Rating: 4.0

it's a "hey you made a mistake a bunch of other people did, and it wouldn't be a big deal except that

it's one of the main points of your review" moment. Sacha Dunable and Dave Timnick are the joint lead

vocalists. I don't mean to sound like I'm calling you out, because it's a good review.

My main point wasn't that he specifically made the mistake-- it was that the vocals, whoever was behind them, weren't utilized well. i changed the name in the review, as that's all that was necessary.

exactly. I just mean it was only worth pointing out who sings because it's your main criticism. it's fixed, so sweet. nice job again, as with your Silver Tongue review.

Thanks man. It turns out that we like similar styles of music, huh? Or are at least interested in the same ones.

My next review may be for the new Northlane album, so be wary!

Album Rating: 4.0

haha thanks for the heads up. I have my eye on The Ocean, Kalmah, and Revocation.

The Ocean should be pretty cool. I haven't checked out the band's discography extensively, but I've been meaning to for awhile!

This is fantastic. These guys have made possible the best album of the year.

First song sounds like ISIS very much.

sludge...cum....progressive?

It sounds so very sexual, and I'm glad you enjoyed my word choice so much

Album Rating: 4.0

I guess now that I think about it, it makes sense. =]

If you're actually curious about what I meant there, I'm pretty damned sure the word 'cum' is used to signify rapid
transition in style. So sludge-cum-progressive would be sludge one minute, progressive the next, yada yada. I'd
look it up, but Google would assume me to be a horny housewife.
