Step up from Dualism for sure, very reminiscent of their earlier releases whilst retaining the melodic qualities of their recent efforts.

Great album! Takes the best of Duelism and the older albums and really mixes it well! It can get a little convoluted sometimes but it is a great album!

Phenotype by Textures is a Djent forward proggy metal album that is certainly very heavy and full of beefy thick riffs and complex rhythmic blends. Textures have a wealth of talent but almost nothing on this album really brings me back for more listening. Even after four listens its hard to really think of any outstanding moments. Much of the album feels forced with intense heavy sections contrasted to melodic metal sections that have been done time and time again. Never bad and never great but an all around average mix of Meshuggah influenced ultra-heavy rhythm guitar. As others have noted, the vocalist is also rather generic all around.

Proggy, Djent with some traditional metal influences. Not bad, but kind of two-dimensional.

The Zman/Timeless combo is amazing. It's great how the new members really added something to the
sound of Textures, while not detracting from their sound. The production here is a lot smoother
than their last one which makes the vocals shine a lot more.

would be at least 3 points higher if the singer didn't sound like he had strep throat. an instrumental version of this would be much better tbh

Timeless is an absolute bitchin' song. Some bland moments here and there, better than Dualism IMO.
