EASILY their best work that I have heard yet!

I may be stupid and have not noticed with any of their other work, but DAMN the instrumental on this Album is just so fucking amazing! The singing isn't obnoxious this time either! I loved the mixture of prog rock and synthesizers to make for a captivating and futuristic atmosphere. This shit fucking rules! Highly recommend this album especially the tracks that I recommend.
