"Yeah man Tony just should’ve went more jazz / chamber than metal on here let’s be honest. His releases like that were always the best w KD."
Wrong, this album is perfect as it is.

Kayo Dot gets shoehorned into the metal community demographic and then they complain when the album isn't jazzy enough.

I still can't get over the line in Epipsychidion that's like "life is short / though death is very long"
Makes me crack up everytime

Since this was apparently the band’s attempt to make a more sophisticated and better gothic metal album inspired by those bands from the ‘90s, I thought I’d list some of my favorites that came a bit afterwards, because I love that genre and there’re plenty of excellent examples of that style, with artists like: pre-Watershed Opeth, Swallow the Sun, Novembre, Katatonia, Daylight Dies, Ghost Brigade, and Paradise Lost. Ashes Against the Grain by American band Agalloch would fit too.

and it doesn't sound at all like the unmentioned doom bands that actually inspired motW

I don’t know why I worded that comment like I was making a list on Letterboxd haha. In case it wasn’t clear, I wanted to have a list of bands that had that Euro metal sound Toby was taking about, but came later and took it in new directions, being more sophisticated in some cases and not even gothic metal in the case of Opeth and Agalloch obviously, and a couple others, but primarily that Euro metal kind of vibe.

I'm starting to get the risks taken in this release, some very good stuff here but I'm still on the fence between is this genius or madness which I guess is half the fun.

I'm completely addicted to this album. It's gonna sound wild but it's almost on Choirs level for me right now. Genius compositions and the mid-era Rush vibes send me the chills with every spin.

Each song is solid but I can't help but shake the feeling that the songs just don't flow well into each other. As placid as a lot of the songs are in Coffins on Io (other than Doves and Library), the album is aesthetically consistent (aside from Adam)
