First listen thoughts:
It's good. Nothing more, nothing less. Was really hyped after Smile and Luminary but the album doesn't really top those. The only exception being the new version of Smile, some vocal melodies took a bit of getting used to since I played the demo to death. Now, I consider Smile to be one of the most complete TesseracT songs (besides Altered State ofc) ever. Has everything I love about the band.
The 'epic, has plenty of good moments but lacks the dynamic I look for in songs of this length, some of those moments are definitely highlights though. Also I think it's a bit disappointing that we got 3 singles while the full album only has 7 tracks.
Haven't seen anyone mention The Arrow on the sites I check, but I think it's wonderful, might be my favourite TesseracT album closer, and considering I anticipated it to be like a 2 minute ambient outro this is even more rewarding
