Edit the tracklist to:

Game, Mattel, nobody, G, O, D, we love you, beautiful morning, easier, cosmic then the title track. It totally changes the dynamic and flow of the album for me.



Cosmic should have always been the final track.

I'm going to 3.5 this. I can see the potential for it to grow because there are times I'm listening to a song and I don't know if I really like what I'm hearing and yet I keep being compelled to come back and listen to this more and more. There's something that's magnetic about the album.

I feel like Cosmic works as a centerpiece but considering every track here, it's definitely the only one I'd call most closer worthy

considering the albums concept there is no better and more fitting way then to end this the way they went about it.

the t/t works well as the aftermath piece to GOD and the album, but I feel like its length gives it enough time to go from "cool end" to "alright you could have added something else at this point"

There's been some crazy discourse on ProgArchives about adding these guys to their database because of this album. And since I'm one of the head honchos over there, I'm stuck right in the middle of the debate 😂

this is prog + half the city of evil songwriting was prog but
flugcomment was prog-ass nerd logic, and we do not abide that

I'd argue that The Stage was prog as well

I just feel like the energy dies out after We Love You and just continues to dwindle, ending the album on a whimper. I feel like GOD being in the middle is like an intermission for the second half of the album. G is just such a weak track. It has potential to be interesting but Matt's vocals just hold it back.

@Frank that setlist felt a lot better tbh, nice work. The album in its current state feels like an ep up front, the GOD trilogy trying out an even more experimental direction and then peters out with a little piano piece. Putting GOD in the center and having beautiful morning and easier build into cosmic as a climax feels right.

Lol, Frank. Took me a second, but yeah I completely agree with that assessment.

"G is just such a weak track"

it seems you're not alone in that but I think it's a very cool track, I found a lot to unpack in its brevity. It starts with a shot of energy, the female backing vocals are a welcome touch, the middle solo section is delicious, and the seamless jazzy transitions throughout the song are great. One of the proggiest thing they've ever done I'd say.

The mumbling vocals in the verses are questionable though no doubt
