Ok that was a perfect listen. This is the one where they mastered their heavy/ambient duality.

The most hypnotizing, artistic post-metal album I have ever listened to. It's sludgy, ugly, gross, loud, nasty, awesome, entertaining and mesmerizing to every degree of the word. Easily a 4.5 if it didn't have some of the cliche post-rock flaws.

I dunno, this one's atmosphere didn't work for me quite well. Maybe this is just me being deaf again, like with Insomnium's Above the Weeping World

Effing beast of an album - a huge step up from their first two. To me this is the
defining CoL sound. Much more post-rocky and cleaner than its predecessors, it does not
lose the brutal riffs on some tracks, for instance the magnificent album outro. This
alternation of calm and heavy, clear and harsh vocals, dream and violence makes for a
very dynamic album. Riveting, diverse and with lots of memorable tracks, this is a clear
5 contender that has its unique personality to it. Solid 4.5

This album opens up an entirely different direction for Post-Metal and experimentation
general. In an essence, this a fine representation of an Oceanic counterpart, a release
that realized CoL's own potential, striving for an ultimate expression. This is not to say
CoL wasn't already a talented band, far from it. But the tone set on Oceanic's release and
the well established Neurosis sludge-fused post-metal pushed this band to their very limits
and release a masterpiece that we've come to know as "Salvation". Following a theme of Big
Brother-like government surveillance where control is absolute; dense walls of sludge and
percussion will crush your skull and sooth you with hypnotic melodies and ambiance. This
album doesn't try to be anything it's not. It is to be taken in and absorbed as a world
clinging onto the idea of freedom and the desperate hope for some form of salvation. As
years pass, the execution of climatic crescendos will stick in your brain, a perfect
balance between light and heavy, exploring waters that had at until this point, been left
undiscovered.

This is a dense, dark journey. There is no escape from it. All you have is the sludgy mess of an album that takes you in and never lets you go. In short, album is heavy as fuck.

Very strong 4. Well-done combination of crushing sludge and gentle post-rock ambiance.

Didn't really expect this album to be as good as it is. Heavier than Isis but not as experimental as Neurosis. Would be the perfect Metal album if it wasn't for Crossing Over.
