Really interesting album which plays with a lot of sounds and influences throughout post-rock/post-metal instrumentals, although these numerous influences don't always add that much value, maybe because of their implementation. One thing is for sure, and is that, despite having so many different sounds, the album feels really cohesive and not too over the top, which is something I really appreciate it.

A very ambitious (an even promising) attempt at genre fusion which suffers from poor production and incoherent pattern transmissions. Hope these issues could be resolved in the future.

Even if some ideas on here were cool, they got kind of ruined by the sound quality and some unneeded sounds on the background. Not as enjoyable as I thought it would be, but it's basically background music that doesn't need much attention if I'm gonna be honest.
