Yeah Show Yourself has actually grown on me to some extent; it's by no means the strongest track here, but it serves a purpose as a straightforward rocker and it's damn catchy.

kinda weird that it's the catchier cuts here that I particularly like since their last one is the only record of theirs I dont care for and Crack the Skye is my favorite but yea this is good

It's probably because they're trading progressiveness and oddity for a more cohesive approach. Like everything's tight knit here.

This sounds like the laziness and conventionality of The Hunter unconvincingly parading as Blood Mountain-scale prog



ain't catchy, ain't heavy, ain't innovative

That ass-backwards riff on Andromeda though. Wish they had more weird moments like that. This and their last one are missing a lot of that kind of thing. Even The Hunter still had plenty of weird shit.

It's very hook driven sonic, no Leviathan or Remission-esque riffs to be found here.

That was a pretty good live performance by them, I have seen them have some pretty awkward ones and that was spot on.
