While not fully letting go of past elements, the musicalities established on the LP are sincerely a representation of the genre's narrow parameters being pushed outward.

With huge hooks, wildly uplifting highs, and intensely punitive lows, Drift is the third studio album everyone wanted ERRA to make

My favorite ERRA album that I've heard so far! An absolute beauty of an album
The Swancore elements incorporated into their classic Prog Metalcore/Djent sound here are an AWESOME touch. The guitar-work is beautiful, nostalgic and eargasmic, while the vocal-work is emotionally potent and memorable. The Progressive structures make the songs more interesting, and unpredictable in a very good way. This is how you do progressive Metal.

The definitely hit their stride here, "Luminesce" fades in hyper smooth, love the leadwork here, it's not super crazy but a starter and table setter. Decent chunky little groove as it develops, a little beefier later on with an increase in ambiance as well. Lovely start.

this one doesn’t do anything for me, not the way ERRA’s future works do. very few things stand out as particularly good or even decent, but also nothing’s egregiously bad. i guess it’s a perfect 6/10 record in that regard
The best ERRA album (though silence outlives the earth might overtake it, I can’t stop listening to that record) and one of the best prog metalcore/djent whatever the fuck you wanna call it albums. They were cooking on here and JT was a fantastic addition to the band
