Just listened to the whole album, and it's really really good, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The songs are super good individually, but they don't seem all that cohesive together as a concept album. Idk, this is after listening to it once so I bet my opinion on it will change.

This was one of their more immediate albums for me tbh.

I think reading the story will help the flow make more sense. Still waiting for my physical.



I definitely do get some odd shifts and changes in tone but something tells me they're more deliberate/purposeful than they seem, and it's because of the story connection. Just my hunch.

Yeah i agree with this. The first 2 parts sound like 2 different Insomnium tracks put together

I still think this flows really well as one song, but I can see where you're coming from.

Knowing the concept of the album I doubt will change my opinion on this. Still good, not bashing.

On my first listen this sounds kinda unremarkable and uninteresting, but then again I think of that when I listen most of the MDM albums from nowadays.

No harm in the comparison, within the same genre, it's a concept album and runs around the same length.

Seeing as this was directly inspired by Crimson I don't see how the comparison is inappropriate.

Idk I wouldn't say this is as good as Crimson just yet, but it's close.

Markus Vanhala from Omnium Gatherum being in the band has clearly invigorated their sense of melody. The guy is such a tasteful melodeath composer.
