KILL couldn't have put it any better: snap, crackle and flop.

The t/t and a couple of other cuts jam, very meandering otherwise tho.

Focus is the only album they've put out that is worth any time imo. Traced is boring as hell and this is just complete and utter shit.

I honestly don't remember what this even sounds like, but Traced is the chilliest of chill albums ever. I have air drummed the shit out of Nunc Fluens more times than I can count.

this is like Cynic but way less interested in making sounds that are both weird and good, and instead is just awkward af and makes me mad.

This album is so clearly Cynic's estranged child

This is just so uninspired and cheesy and boring and terrible that it's crazy to think that this is the same band that released Focus.



Traced is at least listenable.

Honestly can't say I do. It's been a while since I jammed it, but it got worse with more listens for me tbh.

It is way closer to Traced in Air, pretty much has none of the qualities of Focus, so I guess it makes sense that you hate it. Moon Heart Sun Head is cool though if you have any desire to revisit anything from this.

I listened to this again today and my rating is probably high for how much I enjoy it now, but I really listened to this a lot the year it came out.

I mean Traced isn't terrible, it just bores the shit out of me. I loved it for a long time and it just grew off me.



This on the other hand has sucked since the moment it was released.

Haha I know it got some serious backlash. I don't think there can be an argument against Focus being the best thing these guys ever have or ever will do and that came out when I was, like, 5.

I get the love for Traced in Air- I mean I gave it the same rating as Focus- but they're hardly comparable.

I kept saying this wouldn't be that good before it came out and I ended up liking it more than most. Band is pretty underwhelming overall, but this one is a pleasant listen.
