This is an extremely good prog metal album. The vocals are spectacular, the guitars are outstanding, and the drums and the bass exceed expectations. I'm not sure why people want to label this under the "djent" category, as it features very little/none of the distinct sound that garners such a description. For fans of BTBAM, The Safety Fire, and Periphery

People who say the vocals are "meh" and "gay" have no idea what they are saying. This guy is a fantastic tenor. If I'm not mistaken he even hits a High C or Top C (C6 in scientific notation) in one of the songs (Sounds of Glaciers Moving)... That's the defining note of soprano. The highest voice register in music and is usually a female role. His vocal weight and vocal tessitura when he is in his normal Middle C (C5) is fantastic. Know what you are talking about before you try to be such an elitist.

Don't like it...at all. The Vocal-Doubling is awful, especially during the non-clean vocals. The clean vocals are like the music itself very static (I could swear I didn't hear more than a single octave) which they try to cover up with sudden flashes of weird break-downs which ruins the sound even more (the only band I've seen pull that off is Unexpect). rI really wanted to like Corelia but there's little to like, much less to love. For example not only is the vocal range of the vocalist extremely low but he sounds too immature and I end up feeling like I'm listening to a high school band.

Corelia shows a great deal of promise on this EP with excellent guitar work, musical diversity and consistently impressive instrumental composition. However, they make a good deal of mistakes and missteps as well. Sometimes the clean vocal melodies drag on for way too long, sometimes too many things overlap and cause melodies and experiments too fall flat, a technique which some of Corelia's have mastered, but techniques that Corelia themselves have not. Its a very impressive and refreshing EP, but they are in no way perfect on here and fall victim too a few poor songwriting choices. The wank on here definitely pleases me, as a good wankfest always does, but some of the other choices Corelia made on here disappointed me. What needs to be tweaked and diversified are the clean vocal melodies, and some of the melodies and parts instrumentally need to allow single parts to be heard more often. While overall songwriting needs to be improved, Corelia have definitely shown us their talent and skills with this EP.

Finally a Djent album that is actually really good for once.

Perhaps my favorite progcore album, Nostalgia left me craving more Corelia and it's a shame that they're apparently defunct. Ryan Devlin stars in this album with stellar clean and harsh vocals, and this is what really sells the album for me. I've listened to this countless times through and never get sick of it, and Devlin's soaring cleans and variegated harshes are so, so sweet on the ear. rAlso, can't believe I got this far without mentioning Borrell and Dower's guitarwork, not to mention Pratt's drumming. For the sake of being succinct, let's say they're plenty a match for Devlin's singing talents. This has been a disjointed rating but that's probably because I'm listening to this EP for the millionth time. Only knock is that it ain't long enough.

While Periphery just comes across as hilariously juvenile, Corelia manage to craft a debut of a similar ilk while still retaining an essentially memorable sound thanks to impressive musicianship.

I honestly went looking for the other 5 or so albums i expected this band to have. Their sound is extremely well developed and musicality and style is among the best for "djent" or modern prog metal/rock. Stokedd
