First of many listens, but certainly not as good as FtM.


Certainly not a shock. I'll wait until your review to consider listening.

This one has definitely grown on me. The piano outro on Illumination Theory is great.

I placing this somewhere around Line of Deathless Kings/For Lies I sire in the next tier above the bottom. It isn't a bad album, just stuck in the same plodding, slow but not that slow pace for too long. Andy still needs another guitarist to help him write riffs since he is writing all/the lions share of the music, the new drummer was recruited to be far less interesting than Shaun Steels or even Dan Mullins, and Aaron is using too many effects for his voice.

Before I heard The Old Earth I was ready to put this in the Gods of the Sun/34.78% complete bottom tier, but fortunately it is one of the best tracks they've ever written: clean guitar intro leads into a long slower section before rising to an actual riff with doublebass, and one of Aaron's most clever (and slightly catchy) call and response vocal lines with clean and dirty vocals at the same time. Beautiful violin and melodic guitar ending, before the brief and similarly pretty last track ends with the guest cellist. If only the rest of the album were this good.
