A stunning prog metal album. It's hilariously over the top and pretentious, but it doesn't take itself seriously. However despite its cheese there are still some very serious themes in the lyrics like relationship addiction, depression, etc. rThe music is fantastic. It's heavy, diverse, technical and emotive. This is everything one looks for in a prog metal album. Traditional prog metal done right.

Were the lyrics on “No Chorus” crowdsourced to r/progmetal? this song is probably the most undeservedly smug
self-congratulatory egotistical thing ive ever heard. Not to mention the vocalist belts out some of the most
hideous tuneless vocal melodies imaginable. Jesus.

Take Devin Townsend, remove all remotely fun or interesting bits, raise obnoxiousness tenfold
(don't forget to remove all traces of salf-awareness) and you get this album, which basically
represnts everything wrong wih progressive music. Special mention has to go to the track "No
Chorus", which is probably the single worst prog metal song I ever heard, especially if you watch
the official lyric video on YouTube which looks like it was made with Windows Movie Maker. And the
lyrics are basically masturbatory babble about how progressive music is so much better because it
doesn't follow the norms and that society's idea of 'normal' is made up nonsense. And did I
mention that the song's chorus is literally "This song has no chorus"? I mean wow. I can't believe
Scar Symmetry Guitarist took a part in this.
