Hey everyone! I’m sure anyone somewhat tapped into the genre is aware of this album coming out, considering it’s only been 5 years since TesseracT’s last one and they’re a pretty big name so there’s been a bit of a stir around the release.

This is their longest album to date so there’s a lot to chew on, but feel free to leave first thoughts/impressions here!

      Yeah, production-wise it’s absolutely fantastic, and I don’t really feel like anything is weak or a slog to get through. I appreciate there’s more variety in tempos as well. Altered State is one of my favorite albums ever, and I thought Polaris and Sonder were pretty solid, but I swear everything since One has been pretty consistently mid-tempo.

    Anyone noticed any motifs from previous albums anywhere? The part at 3:20 in Echoes feels kind of reminiscent of the intro riff in Dystopia, just without the high pedal notes.

    The first half or so seems to stick with me a bit more than the run of songs following the title track. It’s still early days though, so I’m sure after a few more listens it will all click for me
