There's moments here and there throughout the album where there are multiple, competing rhythms happening at once, but it never sounds haphazard. It's a well choreographed fight made out of noise. Nothing is supposed to work this well, but here we are.

As we march Into the scars of the earth Other circles feel the fear All the tension pulls apart, magnetic waves reveal And the traces fade I am not corporeal Pray to be unmade And absorbed into the light Everybody be as one Suffering only in the mind Coalesce into the none If you worshiped only the real Would you change how you feel? Do you believe you're truly at one? Or would you bargain for another day beneath the sun? Do you regret? Do you feel? Do you own what you've done? And I saw those circles shrinking Missing the fear that once drove them To separate us from what we are And the traces fade We are not corporeal Pray to be remade And absorbed into the light Everybody be as one Suffering only in the mind Coalesce into the none

This entire albums feels like I’m laying on my back in the driest, dustiest desert imagineable, being cooked alive by the scorching sun coming down on me. To say this album feels like “summer” in their seasons collection, is an understatement. The guitar tones and thickness of the riffs embodies dry scorching summer heat in my mind.

@TeCrayShawn Johnson its not that good sadly the two singles suck. Compared to this and Owls. i heard a third song that sounds like old Rivers like Suntold but very slim hope they are focusing on simpler melodies and not at technical solos or outros its honestly amazes me the step back they took when they were playing the "Pink Floyd of Metal".

it happened to me that I knew them by Owls, and took a while to listen this and the first album... I found them more difficult to listen than Owls, but now I think they are, at least. as good as it... Ears just need time to appreciate it xD Still, I find the last album, Works, by far not as good as the previous 3, unfortunately.

Their best album and what got me into the band. Where Owls Know My Name was decent but not so into their new direction. I see tons of praise for Owls and though it had some shining moments it just felt too watered down and predictable at times with less complex structures/riffs and the brutal heaviness just didn't match the level set with Monarchy.
