If you took the best parts of Opeth, Tool, and Katatonia and put them in a blender it would taste like this album.

Whereas the band’s first release was a homage to Tool (… and why not, they don’t make music anymore), Tellurian is basically taking the proggy Opeth formula and doing a better job of executing it. The vocals are better, the choruses are stronger, the music is much more focused and the overall body of work is heavier. I mean, it’s not really doing Soen any favors to compare them so closely to Opeth, but the similarities are undeniable. The fact that these guys are doing it better has to count for something.

Tool-worshipping altprog with dashes of Opeth here and there. It's competently done, the musicians are evidently talented, but it just doesn't do anything the genre has already done.

Instrumentals have improved dramatically and took a page from their prior album by focusing on their harmonies (pro) to compensate for the main vocalist's 'range comfortability' (con). Plenty of instances where the tracks feel a tad bloated instrumentally as well. Personally their best tracks rest within the first half of their album overall.

Lustfully bizarre, yet never too weird on the scale of progressive metal, Tellurian is like a one-night stand between Heritage-era Opeth and the pseudo-intellectuals at Tool. Martin Lopez and Steve DiGiorgio are perhaps the two people who come to mind most at the moment supergroup Soen's name is mentioned, but just about everyone gets a chance to shine here. It's not an original experience, though the musicianship doesn't truly feel unnatural for the entirety of this recording.

A pretty good progressive effort that sounds rather similar to Opeth.
