A real opus! It is just HUGE. Deeply immersive, cinematic, and profoundly emotional; enough to give me chills in some places. Very cool to hear such a drum and bass-forward record: the rhythm section really led the show here, with guitars adding flavor above the emotive base of rhythm. Songwriting is well-honed, blooming and keeping you engaged even over long lengths alongside sincere and powerful lyrics. And perhaps above all, a master class in dynamic range and letting music breathe. pinkytheent
