Probably my favorite in the genre for 2016. Great melancholic atmosphere accompanied by engaging, varied instrumentation that keeps this from sounding like a typical post rock record. The bass on this is also really good (check ''insomnia'') and serves as one of the main highlights.Meshuggah The Violent Sleep of ReasonMeshuggah have delivered something that will undoubtedly stand as one of the highlights in their discography. From the start the music is relentless, only briefly pausing to take a breath on the ambient outro during "stifled". A lot of interesting ideas are explored, and the recording/production style give the album a refreshing organic feel. Definitely worth checking out.Minsk The Ritual Fires of AbandonmentRosetta The Galilean SatellitesRosetta A Dead-Ender's ReunionThe Black Heart Rebellion Har NevoThe Observatory August is the CruellestUlcerate Shrines of Paralysis4.0 excellentAkira Yamaoka Silent HillAkira Yamaoka Silent Hill OriginsAkira Yamaoka Silent Hill HomecomingAnimals As Leaders The Madness of ManyI still regard Weightless as their most interesting work but this comes very close. Definitely a lot more carefully composed than the Joy of Motion; the leads are more memorable and each instrument is given opportunity to stand out.

There is a hell of a contrast between songs like "alpha & omega" and "me & maxine", where you see your typical brocore djn djn chugga chugga model suddenly take a turn to spoken word bluesy rock. They make it work, just barely. Definitely worth checking out, for the novelty of it if anything.Lapalux Lustmoredope beats Limp Bizkit Gold CobraMiyuki The Android's DreamNocow Pulkovo HeightsRain Dog There Be MonstersRosetta Audio/Visual3.5 great417.3 34Unfortunately they have dropped the post-metal style in favor of a more typical post-rock approach. This is still good music, they are still showing great musicianship, but can't help noticing that the uniqueness is no longer there. Check out "52" if you want a good sample of this album.Adeonesis Post Mors VitaeAugust Burns Red ConstellationsCongi Tidal FragmentsDarkest Hour So Sedated, so SecureDarkest Hour Hidden Hands of a Sadist NationSuffocate For Fuck Sake In My BloodYou wouldn't guess by the band name, but these guys write some pretty emotional music. "In my blood" features impressive instrumental work, melancholic atmospheres and considerably unusual vocals for this type of sound. Altogether it makes for a captivating listen, only brought down by the abundance of dialogue sections that tend to overstay their welcome anytime they float by.

It's a bit of a mess, and those parts sound very irritating.

Especially on night market, it sounds like a collection of different ideas presented as one song. rNow if he took each of those ideas and developed them into individual songs, gave us an album/longer ep, then I would easily bump this up at least 2 points. Because there are great ideas here, they are just not given the attention and structure they deserve.Distance DynamisBig change in sound. Aside from a few interesting moments, this is an unsuccessful experiment. What he did on the outer limits ep was far better.N.
