Hard to believe this is the same band that made A Never-Ending Cycle of Atonement.

It's fucking awesome! some people just can't handle experimental and more unique music. Loving the Maudlin of the Well and Kayo Dot influences at least I hear them in this phenomenal masterpiece of an album. They didn't even completely change their style so I don't get why some people hate this album so much

Showing much more deathcore and prog influence than rprevious releases, "Calling From a rDream" shows the band taking an interesting rdirection with mixed results. The rband is at their best here when they get into a rsweet meaty groove or are consistently rthrowing aggressive and interesting riffs at your rface which doesn't happen much of this album.rThe extremelyrprevalent, not well executed female rvocals will certainly be a point of contention. The rmajority of the time they are used, rall the metal stops for more ambient soft sections rto focus on the female vocals. They rwork best when used more rhythmically and naturally rin the flow of the songs which rhappens just a few times on the album. Decentrtracks include "The Shore of Rising rShadows" and "Pulse of the Mountain's Heart". "Upon rWhirling Winds" and "Falling Into rMalice" are interesting in their rharmonic shapeshifting with the later rperhaps being my favorite track on rthe album. However, aside from the tracks I have rmentioned and the solid opener, the rother 4 tracks here are the epitome mediocre. rStill, this could be recommended to rsomeone who wants to hear something different in rtech-death. Not even close to "A rNever Ending Cycle of Atonement" though.

There are some really cool progressive death metal songs on this album, but there are also parts that just kind of drag. I've never heard the previous releases, but maybe they'll come through 100% next time.r
