I find Citadel to be a very special album. There is a sort of checklist you can go down when preparing to listen to this kind of modern extreme progressive metal, and Ne Obliviscaris basically hit everything on it... But they go a bit further than that. Read more ›› |

Well, after all the Hype I've decided to give this a shot. And yeah, I really understand the fuzz. It's a really good piece of music and feels like a strong top10 to me.

I'm a sucker for teh violin, but those clean vocals are pretty atrocious. I also feel like each instrument is playing something interesting, but they are all just thrown together with little attention to overall composition. I think these guys shine the most in their more progressive instrumental interludes, like the guitar solo and strings around the 6 minute mark in Painters Part II. But then we are right back with "hear the childreeeen..." Vomit. This is the third time I have come back to these guys given the repeat exposure on various metal sites. Still not doing it for me, but not outright bad either. Enjoyability=6, Musicianship=7, Innovation=7.

It's because lots of metal folk seem to be into bloated "complex" musical wankery.
