I never thought about them as interludes really, they fit so well with the songs and last less than 30 seconds... I don't know how you could be annoyed by them unless you are constantly looking at the tracklist while listening, after all they are not rap skits lmao

I don't watch the track listing. What I do notice is that there is a lull of interesting material and lo and behold, some pointless interlude. For me, a lot of them are generally bland and don't actually contribute to the experience. It's not like I'm against music written in such a way, I just think they should do more than just rumble on for 30 seconds playing spacey things.

After listening to the album in it's entirety, the interludes really aren't bad at all. The album flows very well and nobody would notice if they just slapped them on to the intro of each song. Now, DNA Activation template I could do without, but I'm not tripping currently so...

The production is great and exactly what it was meant to be. You can ear everything perfectly, with these synths emphazing the whole thing.



I don't know if the BOSE argument was meant to be funny but it made me laugh a lot.

I’m having the usual Cynic experience with this where I know I liked it on the first couple listens but the songs are so dense that they also kind of go over my head. Each listen I uncover a bit more of the songs and start to appreciate their structure more…



In other words, it’s a grower

Same thoughts popped in my head when I was listening to this, it's so busy just like Cynic always was, this one is a true and blue Cynic record, the likes of which we haven't had since Traced in Air
