I feel the same about Red Giant, I just don't get it. It's just.... there.

I feel that way about the whole album. A huge step back from all that came before.

Atlas
Eternal Rain

To me, many tracks on Affinity feel like they're just there. That's why it's hard for me to love the entire album.

I picked the following ones:

Cockroach King
Eternal Rain
As Death Embraces
Atlas Stone
Earthrise
Insomnia

It's the build up. The first few times I heard it, it just seemed like it was meandering. But then it just hit me as this 5 minute slow build up to that HUGE climactic ending. It's like making love at a very slow pace and then suddenly having the climax be so earth shattering that it sends you into another dimension.....like the kind where you forget where you are.
