darker than language but more cohesive, conceptually. still proggy and heavy but it's more dialed back in favor of more solemn motifs and themes of addiction and regret. damn album makes me cry every time. album is essentially a letter from Lessard to a friend who slipped into substance abuse after their mother passed and ended up succumbing to it.

really give it a shot futures. at least until the closer. Monochrome (Pensive) is easily the most sobering and beautiful song I've ever heard from this band.

Language is more for the proggy enjoyers, and is pretty positive in tone, while this feels deeper and darker, yet also more subtle



Anyway they should really come back

Just converted this to a 5. It’s genuinely such an incredible and emotive piece of work.
