"Fleeting Glance is still lovely."
That's one of my favs too. I was curious because Mikael said the song sounded a bit like Toto, turns out the riffage does indeed sound like their chunkier side. m/

‘hehehe salty Demon and mission is a resounding success, I've just always gravitated towards heavier music and/or more modern mixes’
I’m not salty lol, just found a lot wrong with your comment. It’s fine to have preferences for particular styles, but the praise for this wet cardboard production seemed off to me. I think you might be struggling to separate the two - you like prog to sound heavy, that doesn’t mean the production is suited to the sound they were going for. Plenty of music I enjoy isn’t impressive from a production standpoint.

I’m also far from a classic prog truther. I like some of it, don’t love it. Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush - not a single rating above a 4. Although if you start slagging off Crimson, THEN I might have to get ‘salty’.

How about the concept of differing personal preferences, are you considering that?

"Plenty of music I enjoy isn’t impressive from a production standpoint."
then why criticize this album so heavily for its production when the music sounds good regardless, I smell hypocrisy

Nah because the material here just isn’t compelling enough to look beyond it’s production mishaps. Below average material + awful production = unsurprisingly bad results.

I like Rush but the vocals kind of grate on me after a while, I like Pink Floyd a fair bit, Jethro Tull is probably one of my favorites, Yes is rather meh to me, Genesis is alright, I'm not going to say King Crimson is bad but there's just something about it that does not really connect with me at all

tons to enjoy here, great melodies, nice riffs, cool proggy bits, beautiful melodies, catchy, everything one would want from a prog rock record

Songs are great live, but everything is better live, tbh. This is better than PC to me, more cohesive and has better ideas

Nice

To be fair, it hasn't been too long since Cauda. But I'm sure they've got something brewing :]

It's almost two years plus touring stopped, so I wonder if there's going to be any new album soon. I'm really curious to see where they go from Cauda, and I feel like I'm going to like anything they come up with.

PC is like their most cohesive album ever, to a fault since it's so straightforward at times, especially the middle songs. This is more obtuse and unpredictable, with their weakest hard rock/metal sections, partially due to the production and mixing. Cauda fixes a lot of those issues while still maintaining the oversinging and cheesy elements of course, but with noticeably stronger songwriting and more emotional resonance. Heritage is best of all 4 and nails its wonky songwriting and atmosphere.
