19:00 - flightoficarus86 Yeah...Subversion is not really worth your time unless you're a hardcore djentian. Nothing new happening at all
18:21 - Sun Shiny I'm a drum seeker anyway, but yes, I think it sounded more or less quite monotonous, other than that good job, waiting for the other 2. :P
18:20 - flightoficarus86 Agreed, great vocals, but the guitar wasn't as engaging this time around. Still two more tracks around the corner.
18:19 - Sun Shiny I liked the general sound, but at some point it got kinda boring. Otherwise, loving the deep growling the guy pulled up. :D
