"Interesting to read Johannes’ thoughts on how this record was made (lots of experimenting) and how much he still likes it"



Best CoL, far and beyond agreed

Only Mariner and SATH come close to this caliber of excellence imo

Salvation, SATH & Dawn are the top 3, then this.

Mariner barely even registers / doesn’t count for me. I’d take almost everything they’ve done over it

definitely at their best when they get in touch with their twinkly delicate side, but didn’t need fem-vox-orientated shit to achieve that

Mariner barely being a CoL album is complete nonsense, it's literally the whole band plus Julie and the result is such a godly achievement

I love all three but there’s a more… consistent? atmosphere on the beyond and salvation that is just hitting the spot right now

I have the two rated the same rn but SATH is a 4.7, whereas this is more like a 4.2/3

I should probably drop this tbh. It's a pretty awesome ten-ton truck of monolithic sound when you're in the mood, yet contrary to the above I consider SATH significantly more atmospheric overall

idk SATH / Salvation (the latter even more so) have that magical ethereal quality that is only constant on those two CoL releases and a lot of that is present in the more serene moments
