Naraka is my least favourite. Seems like I mostly disagree with the track ratings I saw earlier on AOTY

I like both!



I don't have any I dislike on the album but I guess top five might be 'Time and Space', 'Father and Son', 'Naraka', 'Reason Departs' and maybe 'Memory Death'.



Still getting in to it...

Prophecy At 1420 MHz is my fav. Whole album rips balls though.

Even after about 15 listens I still feel like I don't really know the album yet. Just so much going on.

Initially I wasn't really impressed by Inferno



But like every BOC album after like 40 plays it finally it started to grow, and I can feel its magnificence.

Blood in the Labyrinth (3)



Prophecy, Hydrogen, Arena, and Retreat are all right behind it though.

I like Naraka, I just think the former half of it is better/hints at something darker.



Yeah that Fantano 6 is disappointing. I think he’s maybe not affording it enough time, but that’s also to be expected for “The internet’s busiest music nerd.” Most of the albums I come to love the most (like this one) tend to not be immediate for me.

I wish the earlier beat came back at the end of Naraka.. the last two minutes fade out with the chant.. thinking it could’ve hit harder with a lil energy comeback at the end



Hitting me after a few listens how epic Word Becomes Flesh is

Still a fantastic song but the long fade out just feels like a missed opportunity. That beat is classic BoC and I was waiting for it to mix in with that chant at the climax and nada
