Philly_Boy Posts: 19 From: Canada	04.02.2019 - 19:46 Rating: 10 Philly_Boy Posts: 19 From: Canada I find Lotus better than Lykaia. Better sound, better songwritting ans most importantly, every song is unique and memorable. 10/10 Loading...
MentalYah Posts: 4	07.02.2019 - 14:31 Rating: 9 MentalYah Posts: 4 Same. I really dig 6 songs on lotus vs 3 on Lykaia. Seriously. who rates this less than 6? Loading...

Seriously. who rates this less than 6? 5 = Not Good, that's probably how I feel about it after a couple of listens Loading...
that guy Posts: 351	08.02.2019 - 10:27 that guy Posts: 351 Needs more listens, I liked it. What I'll say though is that it does not come close to Tellurian. What an awesome album that was. Loading...
Paulh Posts: 80	08.02.2019 - 12:48 Rating: 9 Paulh Posts: 80 I'm always sceptical whenever a new album receives a ton of 9 or 10 ratings, especially progressive metal albums. But I can say for certain that this album is awesome! Deserving of its high rating. Loading...
MetalManic Posts: 335 From: Canada	12.02.2019 - 01:14 Rating: 8 MetalManic Posts: 335 From: Canada Solid release. Cody Ford fits in nicely as the guitarist but I feel that by the time their next album comes along (provided Cody is still with the band) we will hear some interesting deviation from their recent formula. ---- MetalManic www.MetalManic.com Loading...
metalbrat Posts: 104 From: India	+1 13.02.2019 - 13:13 Rating: 7 metalbrat Posts: 104 From: India Lykaia was an excellent album. But I couldn't find a single song in lotus which falls in that category. Great disappointment of 2019. Loading...

I suppose prog fans are used to softer sounds and that's why they prefer this to Lykaia. Maybe that's why I never really like Dream Theater. Way too soft... Just check out the favorite bands of all those who loved Lotus and you'll see what I mean Loading...

Seriously. who rates this less than 6? Seriously! Just 3? I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder n' all, but god damn it man! Tracks 1-7 in Lykaia are masterful. This new one is way too soft, sad and boring Loading...

Just check out the favorite bands of all those who loved Lotus and you'll see what I mean I can't get into Dream Theater either, prog definitely isn't my thing so I don't usually vote on those albums unless I really give it enough chances. I don't think I could be bothered to listen to this again, and I'm not supposed to sleep during working hours anyway Loading...
