2024 and this is still one of the albums I listen to the most in my daily life

It's 2020 and I'm still drooling over it.

I deeply miss this lineup for the band . . .

[@Fr0mN07h1n9]

The vocalist in this band is absolutely amazing. I know most prog metal fans would disagree with that.. But seriously, the vocals are so on point, along with the instruments that just make everything about this album and band so much better.

[@jakemchale1106]

prog metal fan who enjoys them here

[@toximan2008]

I love him. I also like Spencer Sotelo's vocals too. He has improved greatly since Periphery I and I thoroughly enjoy it.

lol!

[@Darkest_of_Winter]

This album has gotten me through some really dark times. Thank you guys for this gem.

[@Popabuddy1]

Atlas Hour is so beautiful. I can't put the emotion I have for that song in words.

[@rounax666]

especially the last part. hits me so hard :-(

[@KaraethonOfficial]

Also, I love how Mike managed to include the lyrics "the space between" and "in time" in the title track, real clever!

[@XeroAiphix]

Their best album imo. Hands down.

[@Mezer_PoE]

Idk Shape of Colour is pretty fucking amazing, Sweet Tooth is hands down their best song and probably one of the best instrumental songs ever made

[@z_ragnair]

absolutely agree. i like this album much more than the last 2 albums.

[@basshunter1148]

2021!

[@jonathanedwards7762]

Hell yeah! And the top of the best ending too! #2021

[@fripickbot4043]

The lyrical context of this album. It has changed many lives my friend. I love instrumentals but this voice within had to be expressed!

[@BurnTheNuance]

Normally I don't dig "clean" vocals very much, but I think this guy fits the music better then any other vocals I've heard in djent. I honestly think every other guy, especially Spencer, tries to hard or is too "Whiny" but this guy just nailed it in my opinion.

[@StormshadowGames]

Too bad he's gone

[@MichaelPsyche]

StormshadowGames Yeah I know...

[@WhoTooned]

Spencer is a great vocalist. He has an impressive vocal range.

[@Ironication]

***** then go back to your Messhugah or whatever, I'll continue listening to Periphery, Intervals, Erra etc.

[@garrettbrown6770]

***** If a band only makes music to serve the fans, they literally become s sell-out. Periphery does whatever the fuck it wants to and "OG Fans" can shit in their panties all they want if they don't like it

[@AerieFaye]

The sound of this album is still so incredibly solid. It helped me through some pretty severe depression back when I was in the army. As a guitarist and vocalist myself, the dynamic, the lyrics, the tonal/stylistic changes, and subtleties within the work resonate with me so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you Intervals, for putting out such great art.

[@MarcelloDiLorenzo]

Jordan Valeriote is a superb sound engineer!

[@vhayes182]

Really wish the singer would come back! This is literally one of my favorite albums of all time! The chemistry between the band mates were perfect! 2020 needs this!

[@bruceerogan3662]

Which other albums do you know of that has the same feel as this one?

[@lukasvogt3127]

one of the best albums I ever listened to..

[@lukasharding7953]

[@michaelberechet4388]

don't you love it when your friends end up doing amazing things? I do. Support Intervals until you die people! UNTIL YOU DIE!

[@SolitaryLight]

Guys this is my second listen through the whole album! I did not want to pause it for any reason! Picking this up as soon as I can!

[@nocturne.nocturnal]

This album is one my top 10 best albums of all time. Cool theme, fantastic instrumentals, touching lyrics and the ending section to A Voice Within is just something else

[@BeholdTheLeviathan]

The Self Surrended, especially the ending, is so breathtakingly beautiful. I cannot stop replaying it.

[@aaronhuggins1041]

was skeptical about adding a singer, and now i can say without a doubt the singer has added a whole new dimension to the awesomeness that is intervals. above and beyond the norm. this. is. amazing.

[@aaronknee1218]

Like your name and I indubitably agree with you~

[@christopherdouglas4472]

Still one of the best albums to date. Its now 2019.

[@abramkoucheki]

Bought this record this morning before school.. but school was canceled... so i have been listening to this record non stop. the entire day, since 8 this morning. Every song is amazing. My personal favorite is Atlas Hour

[@Mattrocity1337]

i remember when i first found intervals on bandcamp back when the space between just came out and how awesome a find it was. then when in time came out and your songs became soooo melodicly juicy i knew you guys were only gonna get better. but THIS, THIS IS UNREAL. the amount of growth between this and the previous releases is spectacular. i no way does the vocalist take away from your music, your message, it just appeals to a wider audience now. continue making music guys cause your KILLIN IT! (and to all the fans listening on youtube: Buy the album already!

[@methiumsmusic]

Couldn't agree more

[@Arcnaught]

Hell yeah, going from hearing the vocalist in HAARP machine to having fucking INTERVALS instrumentals with him now....speechless

[@methiumsmusic]

Goosebumps,goosebumps everywhere

[@trajectory5906]

Been around since the very early days guys. Love the new material, but coming back to this years later is still as refreshing as the first listen. Your best album in my view, and always will be until you get another singer.

[@paperfart3988]

I love the instrumental stuff but yeah, this album was just so fucking good.

[@jeremyrich123]

I agree, there really isn't anything like this out there.

[@O-Nsquared]

Wish intervals would work with a singer again. Not to say their instrumental work isn't good (its fantastic frankly), but when they have a singer it really takes it up notch.

[@mertzinator]

+Mike Menart I completely agree, I've been wondering what The Shape of Colour would sound like with vocals.

[@tmyafreemann]

Steven Mertz the lyrics are a big deal too. The singer wrote poetry in these songs. Each can be read and enjoyed without music. The content is timeless and it is put together perfectly. I could put this album in my grave next to my copy of Shakespeare's sonnets! :)

[@AdriSkynet]

Please no.

[@MichaelPsyche]

@@AdriSkynet Please yes, The Shape of Colour and The Way Forward were so boring and uninspired. This was thick, mean, heroic and beautiful at the same time.

[@1mindlessmusic1]

Semesky is killing it, I was skeptical but after first full listen I'm sold on the new lineup

[@jimdonovan8213]

I like the singer. I've played several albums today after reading comments from Wolfgang VH. I must admit that I'd never heard of them before. The band rocks. So rare nowadays!

[@andersevenrud]

This album is amazing. Oh, man.... them vocals. So powerful and just fits perfectly!

[@dOmGoNz1991]

After listening to so many different kinds of music all day, this is still pleasing to the ear. Now, that says something.

Hello, PECULATE The album was produced and mixed by Jordan Valeriote

[@KCYON]

You guys made a freakin' piece of art. Beautiful. Right on guys. Also, I'm extremely glad you added vocals, and I'm glad you proved me 100% wrong :)

[@TylerHatesBuffering]

Album of the year.

[@RamanYadav-xq6hm]

More like album of all time

[@chrisdotdash5154]

The last song is so beautiful. What a way to end an album.

[@energysage9774]

I'm really glad so many Intervals fans seem to prefer this change, I always hate to see a band's fanbase changing because they tried a new direction with talented new members. I'm not a fan of the vocals personally, but it's not like they're bad. Intervals is still an amazing band, and honestly they're too creative to release more albums without a new feel to them.

[@vampirealan1]

Honestly its the voice that I really fell in love with at the beginning he sounded like howard jones and thats what got me!

[@LuisoRubi]

alan monster It really sounds like Howard! :D

[@irusu.]

I don't like the vocals so much just for personal taste of tone, but that man is a good singer and intervals still beautiful instrumental as always

[@Christian06230]

Luiso Rubí harp machine vocals

[@irusu.]

I love the haarp machine vocals a lot more than this, idk. Maybe i'm really stupid sakdl, but this keep kicking asses

[@infini9262]

I was in a band called 'a voice within'. It's a sign I'm the right path having found this music. This is one of my most favorite bands I have ever discovered.

[@TheJOEsat93]

I personally think Mike Semsky(Sempsky..?) did an exceptional part on the vocals. Instrumentals are just like a horse without a rider. Vocals define why the song is headed where its going.. I prefer intervals with these awesome vocals. Cant get enough of these songs. Pretty darn awesome.

[@SrMoses99]

I can not understand how this does not have millions of views ....

[@DennisFeinsteinCEO]

I ligit feel sorry for people who have never heard this band. Aaron Marshall is something else 👌

[@jimhaglund597]

the best vocalized djent to this day.. amazing album

[@265ENOCK]

Been listening since release. How can people listen to only the instrumental of it? So good

[@marcio1745]

I really love instrumental songs ... but this album with vocals is a masterpiece ....

[@265ENOCK]

I love instrumental songs too, like their new album, but this one is just magical with these vocals

[@timothyjohnson8247]

I use the instrumental for studying

[@joeb5958]

Checking back in in 2022. Yep… album is still amazing

[@mathiasray]

2022 and this album still has me in a chokehold

[@z_ragnair]

intersting. when this album was announced i was afraid because of the vocals. now i think this is Intervals's best album.

[@chrisgardiner6488]

an absolutely unique sound, nothing like it out there. bloody brilliant.

[@whitetongue897]

Took me a little while to get used to Mike, I think that's normal. Now I can't stop listening.

[@kimiitachi2]

This is truly beautiful. I discovered you yesterday, and I've already listened to this album three times (same for your two EP). And it's better each time. You are an amazing band, every song seems perfect to me. Thanks for your awesome music =D.

[@imisshalo2]

So Underrated. Singing works amazing in prog, I wish more would embrace it!

[@AMortalDefiant]

Yep. It's a shame that one of the best genres for guitar, bass, and drums is also the absolute worst for vocals... Some of us actually like something to sing/hum along to; not more "cookie monster" growling and screaming. Unfortunately, that's lead me to listen almost exclusively to instrumental prog these days.

[@FalseOracle617]

I love everything this band has produced, and I will continue to support this example of passionate and adventurous musicians decide to do next, whatever that may be. Lovely album.

[@InfinnacageMusic]

Shet son. This gets better whenever I decide to have a listen at good ol' Intervals. These dudes know how to write anything from poppy to prog.

[@hertz_me]

sensational vocals

Today is my birthday, thank you Intervals :)

[@IIaMSLicKI]

if you haven't already.. listen to the album in its entirety before forming an opinion. its almost unfathomable how beautifully crafted this album really is. never really heard of these guys before i saw someone post this on a FB post.. I'm glad i found it. I love the technical bands with amazing vocals. (i am abomination, forevermore, periphery..etc..) Its music. listen and enjoy it.

[@MysticNetherlands]

Wow. I took the effort to log in and leave a comment (which I rarely do). I always liked Intervals, and I think the vocals are just fine (excellent actually), but man, these riffs!!! They have progressed a lot in writing songs and riffs, this is AWESOME. Great stuff guys, God bless, take care, keep rocking!

[@CREEDxFMx]

Exactly what I've been looking for. Perfect vocals for the djent/prog. Amazing album.

[@DustinNuttall]

Absolutely spectacular album!

[@lifemusiclive.]

Holy shit, just when i thought it couldn't get better than the instrumental, it's beautiful 💕

[@FluffRecordings]

So much amazing music being released! This is up there with them all!

[@babytiny5807]

This music is amazing, I'll definitely buy their albums when I have the money. I came for the instrumentals, but I was surprised to hear some awesome vocals too.

[@BlvckjvckRecordings]

Honestly, I enjoy Mike's singing. I've gotten a little tired of the screams and growls (thanks to all those softcore bands spreading like wildfire). It's nice for a change.

[@SpartanxApathy]

Agreed.

[@CristianKirk]

Same here! This is my first time listening to this band, it's freaking awesome!

[@CristianKirk]

CristianKirk Some screaming wouldn't be bad tho :P Maybe for the next record they'll consider it.

[@xaviersicard-charette2344]

CristianKirk Listen to their instrumental stuff, it's sooo good!

[@donniefrixione7071]

Yeah there's nothing wrong with balance. For example Altered State by Tesseract was brilliant that way Ashe's vocal range in contrast to the heavier instrumentals was amazing the album had a lot of depth it was definitely refreshing. Everyone's such a harsh critic about music if people had it their way everything musically would sound the same because everyone's stuck on one sound or a few albums. When it comes to the concept of metal people can be extremely whinny and overly judgmental.

[@powerhitter033]

I really think this is album of the year. No doubt it will be hard to top.

[@Blaze5layer123]

I don't care what anybody says, this is just as good as their instrumental work, maybe even better!

[@Beanie-Sandals]

Once a month for 2 years I would take a 45 minute drive to the T.A.G.S. airsoft field in Kent, WA and always jam this album start to finish, it was my ritual. And now everytime I listen I am reminded of all the friends I made and the good times we had shooting eachother with BB's, with 100+ players head-to-toe in tactical gear on a 10 acre patch of woods in the Northwest, it was the most fun I think I will ever have with my clothes on. I miss it 😢 2 years ago I commented below. Lol I love Intervals!
