Pretty heavy and chaotic output as a companion to the last album vector. So much going on and it takes several listens for the fog to clear. It’s insane how talented these guys are. The clear number one in progressive metal.

Such an amazing album. They keep getting better with each release. Easily the best in the prog game right now. Their song writing and composition just can’t be matched. Incredible live too.

Loving it currently. Even though I loved it Vector felt incomplete when it came out. Not I feel like it finally has its ending counterpart and it’s beyond satisfying. Two incredible albums!

I have been absolutely digging this album. I feel like I need to go back and re-listen to Vector at this point, because it never grabbed me like this and I know they're supposed to be companion albums. Headphones are an absolute must for this album. I'm sure a very high quality system would sound great, but you just need something to provide the clarity to fully appreciate the complexities of the arrangements.

You can definitely hear their influences at times. There are several strong Opeth vibes. Also, Diego's time playing with Devin Townsend also shines through. I was half-expecting Ziltoid to make an appearance at one point.
