This is the most emotionally satisfying album I've ever heard. I can think I can safely say this is what Lateralus tried to be. The end of Dark Charade alone sounds like the wrath of god!

I just had to create an account here to give this one a five. I absolutely adore it. It's filled with amazing moments that remind me why I'm into music at all. rI'm not saying this album is without any flaws. On the other hand I believe that while all of those flaws get easily lost among the really solid and beautiful stuff, an album deserves a perfect score. And hell, this is one of those albums from where I stand.

This is such a great album! I thought that nobody would be able to top Sound Awake or 10000 Days, but they did it - with ease! I do not know how many times I have listened to this album since yesterday, I just know that it does not tire and stays great. WOW!!!

Pretty damn amazing. At first I felt the album was a little short, though at 50 minutes it's a testament to how cohesive this album is as it feels like it's over much faster.

Dark Charade blew me through a couple of doors and into next week. Holy Drew, how in the name of Maynard do you do it

A massive step-up from their earlier discography; they've cultivated a sound which displays their remarkable musicianship and emanates an aura that is utterly captivating.

As much as I enjoy the various changes in vocal delivery appearing in each Rishloo album, I can't help feeling this album was a tad anti-climactic compared to their prior two albums. Living As Ghosts is the closest this band has created music to embody their shoegaze influences. The sound reminds me of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. Not completely implying that is a bad quality, it just makes me wonder what could've been done different to make this shoegaze stand out by (certain) comparison. Another quality I liked was the attempt at lengthening their songs. Where I normally find most lengthy prog songs to be pretentious, this is one of the few albums w/ songs I could enjoy from start to finish from all parts involved making this music. This is an easy 4/5, but ranking this a 4.5/5 rating may be a tad generous. But SCREW IT, this album is still AWESOME!

Still hoping that one day people stop comparing Rishloo to Tool. At this point, they're fucking hugely different bands.

I love all their earlier albums, and in time i know i will love this one too. This album feels like their most consistent to date. The great rain beatle, landmines, dark charade and winslow are spectacular!

Absolutely fantastic. After the breaking up and reuniting, they haven't lost a beat. Their best album yet.

2014 has been a bleak year - Rishloo luckily play the role of prog saviours and some damn fine intricate and meaningful music too.
