I'm happy to see this get an article. I was super hyped for this. The album name and song titles are sick. I expected more heaviness, riffing, and some longer guitar solos due to how much was going on on their first LP Engram of Decline. They have a lot of Alkaloid influence on this record due to that vocal style he implements a lot on this record and how many soft sections there are. I like some songs more than others but the overall quality is about the same as Engram of Decline, the style is just very different. A Reality to Foreclose, Masterpiece's Parallelism, Fundamental Dividing Principle, and Chiasmus of the Damned are especially superb. I love this clean, wank free style of tech death. Not that I have a strong aversion to so called "wank" anyhow.
