Stormtron Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Pushing the Tides is cool but the mix is ass. Teardrinker sounds way better though. So much so that it's weird to me that they're from the same album. Really digging it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Went through the album once. Initial impressions are very good. Brent stands out to me on this one...a lot of eerie and haunting sounds and he kills every solo. A lot to digest with it being a double album, but I'm digging it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Their very first double! Giving it a first spin this morning in just a little while. Have really enjoyed the first three singles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Two listens down, great album. I loved the singles! Made a much bigger impression on me than Emperor Of Sand ever did. A looooot to digest here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) i've had two listens as well. i actually found a leak a day early. First i just want to say mastodon was a band TRF got me into it took me a while to get into the earlier harsher stuff. it took me a while to get into that style in general. but i instantly took to Crack the Skye because it toned down the rough edges and was more prog. Anyway i love it all now. I like Segue was not happy with Emperor of Sand it sounded too much like a bid for "radio success" (as much as one can get today, lol) and a bit too hollow for me. but i see it topping fans lists so what do i know? the New one is FANTASTIC!!! it takes all the band is and mixes it all together while still experimenting and staying fresh. It IS massive and will take many listens to fully piece together......only a few shorter tracks with most being in the 5-8 minute range. By the By this album should be what a double was made for IMO. a band just trying new approaches and just throwing everything out there. i loved it.

Turbine Freight Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Played it through twice and my initial impression is that it is a very strong album, their best in a while in fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 This band never fully clicked with me and I'm not sure why. It seems like I should enjoy them but it just didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I dig Crack The Skye a lot and, though I can barely tell where one song ends and the next begins, Leviathon is good as well. I will! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love the new Biffy Clyro to death! Throw in Killers, Trivium and Dream Theater, it's been an exceptional year for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
