Why they announced the album 4 months before it's release astounds me. It's such a prolonged wait.

It could be a business tactic. Not sure how it will play out though.

Listened to the new singles for the first time. They were really good, but a little tame. It's the direction I want them to go in, but I hope there's some more punchy songwriting on the rest of the album.

There is. You can hear it in a few of the studio previews.



The vibe I get from the reviews so far is that these singles are pretty representative of the general sound of the album, just lacking the peaks and valleys that'll make the other tracks stand out more. It's also apparently one of those album that works best as a full listen all at once. Soooo stoked.

Yeah I'm sure it will work better as a full listen.



I love most of this, I just think the dxc sections sound out-of-place and probably just should have been omitted.

I think the studio vids they've put out are great. Got some great sounding stuff on them.

Ahhh thanks



You'll love this then, Talons, as it's an evolution of that sound without any of the shoehorned in extreme metal elements.

Yeah, the songs that are in the background of the videos sound way more intense and varied than the ambient singles they've put out.

Listening to it now. 128kb/s. I just couldn't wait for the 320 version. It's so pretty. Luscious and passionate. I love it.

I think Exoplanet was really good but i dont need another one necessarily, that album is enough

Not a fan of vocals in Intrinsic, they take me out of it

I think thats kinda what they where going for in Return to Earth... having a simple hook with miniscule dynamics but the track progresses into a much huger sound by the end, if there was a more dynamic vocal i feel like that would ruin that, to me its like someone trying to maintain their composure but really theres a whirlwind of thoughts in their mind

So close to release!



I've now heard the title track and Godspeed as well. They're both wonderful. Saving myself for the full 320kbps release for the last 3 tracks.

Seeing these guys again in two week with Between The Buried And Me. Last time they played Language almost in its entirety and it was fucking unreal. So tempted to listen to leak...

Easy for me to say, but wait for it.



On their store, it's showing that I can get my digital download tomorrow. So someone's gonna leak the official digital copy tomorrow, no question.

The Monochrome songs are fucking gorgeous. The repeating melodies between the two songs are so well done. Clairvoyant is my AOTY so far, it's the sound I always wanted them to go in.



Top 3 songs right now are; Monochrome (Passive+Pensive), Clairvoyant and Relapse (that riff at 2:25 :P). I wish people would stop looking for the breakdowns and just get enveloped in the sound of it, it's so spacious and lush with just the right amount of power when it's needed.
