Can't get enough of this lately.

God-tier album right there.

If there was a higher tier than a "god-tier", this album would've made it there. Absolute musical perfection and I'm not tired of saying that every time it gets mentioned.

Jonathan, may I ask you a question? How is it that you can put down 6 albums a day? Can you listen while working?

Big Hath · « **Reply #5113 on:** January 13, 2016, 09:32:03 AM »

It's not quite 6 a day (but it's close). My typical day consists of one album during my commute (half in morning/half in evening), 2 albums during work (one of those is usually during lunch), and another 2 albums at home at night.

I can listen at work, but it gets interrupted with calls/meetings/etc. fairly often.

Follow-up on this:

...ehh? I dunno, I feel like this should be doing more for me than it is. If you get past the circus music most of this isn't -that- weird and the proggy instrumental bits always feel a bit heavy on the technical but soulless side of things. Suicide Penguin might be my favorite on the whole disc, honestly. It's not a bad album but I feel like I should like it a lot more than I do.

tho in all honestly this set of four is probably the weakest set in general. Enslaved is great and Crisis is p. good too and I like OoS but it's not as good as absolution, which already isn't even a top 50 album for me

That's dedication, bro!

i like this. i do not love this, though. it feels a bit empty at times, not pulling off the heaviness it wants. but there's a lot of cool sludgy riffs and Karyn is a pretty good vocalist, there's one or two moments of her singing i don't like but otherwise i'm okay with it. the two instrumental tracks are among my favorites though, anyways.

i'm glad i have this album, regardless, even if it's not like the best thing ever or anything, it's the kind of album i didn't have in my library until now and i imagine it may grow on me in the future. it's good.

I love it. Don't give up on it yet.

I'm biased because I adore Anneke, and it's not the best thing she's done, but it's still a great listen.

Crow · « **Reply #5123 on:** January 13, 2016, 01:56:26 PM »

when that came out i listened to one disc every day for like two weeks and then abruptly stopped and forgot it existed and was only reminded like a month or two down the line that, yes, that happened

Crow · « **Reply #5124 on:** January 13, 2016, 02:08:14 PM »

i really dig this album and it's not just a one-track wonder of an album either. roots of the mountain is probably the best them but i don't think any track here is disposable and all of them have a ton of cool moments that keep me interested the whole way through. i need more enslaved albums, basically

the scary monsters cover always reminds me of the Joker from the Dark Knight Returns graphic novel

Crow · « **Reply #5127 on:** January 13, 2016, 03:23:32 PM »

it's interesting that I got this the same year Drones came out bcuz this is probably the most comparable Muse album to Drones (unless Showbiz is even more so i really don't know)
except, this actually has cool songwriting and edge to it and a cohesive sound as well
i think the album runs out of steam a little after Citizen Erased but none of the songs are bad

Tomislav95 · « **Reply #5128 on:** January 13, 2016, 03:53:38 PM »

I'm kicking myself for dismissing this album after only one listen

Train of Naught · « **Reply #5129 on:** January 13, 2016, 04:03:02 PM »

^ Either that or Quiet World is my AOTY, I was sure for the longest time that Act IV was the best but both are fantastic.

Giving this another try. I didn't really like it that much after the first few listens.

Don't know why it isn't working for me. I've always liked Devin's mellower stuff and I loved the singer on Ki.
