Great stuff as usual. The final proponent track is just excellent. The Rush cover is also great and fits pretty well to wrap up the album.

Definitely one of the most ambitious albums of the year, that's for sure. Then again, with the other two Allegaeon albums I've heard, I don't think calling this latest effort "ambitious" is much of a surprise. I am however surprised at the level of accessibility there is here, there's certainly a lot more catchiness in a lot of the songs here-more so than on the previous album. That said, I found the second half of "Proponent for Sentience" a lot more enjoyable than the first. The first was good, but it was fairly forgettable after a while and hard to separate one song from the other. With the second half is where the album's real highlights come around-that is the second part of the title track, 'The Algorithm', "Cognitive Computations" and "The Arbiters". Solo work is also pretty solid here, despite at times seeming repetitive.

For whatever reasons this one hit me just right. It's exactly what I want at the times I wanted it and then it mixes it up enough to keep it really interesting. The technical chops are fucking absurd.

Excellent!
Didn't knew the band, It really blew me away! Great technical death metal, not as messy as many bands of this genre. You can hear every layer of sound clearly here. Very well produced.
Best of 2016 imo

I keep wanting to come back and like this album more as a fan of the first 3, but I can't. Needs a trim. Still looking forward to what they can do next and happy with where my Patreon money is going.

Proponent for Sentience III is awesome, the rest is very good to decent. My main gripe with the record is just how pointlessly bloated it is. Definitely a talented group of musicians though.

My favourite tech-death album, lots of good stuff all over with very few weak tracks.
