Ever since the first listen I continue to be blown away by the musicianship on this album. The amazing amount of changes and the preciseness of everyone's playing is just incredible. It really shows how technically capable and how true of musicians these guys are. Although it is mainly a progressive metal band you can here all the different influences that have found their way into the album with clear signs of Jazz and Flamenco influence in a lot of Tosin Abasi's playing. Matt Garstka is obviously an incredibly gifted, diverse, and creative drummer, you can hear his influences such as gospel, latin, funk, metal, etc. But it isn't just the technical capabilities and diverse influences that make this album for me. It is also how well Javier, Tosin, and Matt converse with each other through their instruments which adds to the greatness of this album as it is hard to create such emotion with such technical music but because of their amazing abilities to listen to each other they found a way to do it. rI'm a huge fan of this album and can't wait to see them live and can't wait for another album from them. Jon Hopkins ImmunityI know some would think it's a stretch to call it a classic but I think this was an extremely innovative album. You can here tons of different influences from the electronic genre within this album. Tracks like Open-Eyed Signal progress amazingly throughout the entire length of the tracks. Hopkins made House music much less boring to listen to with his amazing use of layering and different use of sounds and timbres. Along with the epicness of the powerful house tracks on the album are beautiful ambient pieces like Abandon Window and the title track that create such soft and empty atmospheres that are filled up with various loops of god knows what to create an amazing and almost contradictory feeling of hollowness and comfort. I think this album is a Classic just for the fact that it often seems hard to find electronic music that is truly unique which this album definitely is.
