The Way Forward sits contentedly in one spot for its half-hour runtime — a runtime that works to the advantage of Intervals, though, as the experience is short, sweet, and comfortable. The tones are well-crafted, the technicality is impressive without seeming self-indulgent, the mix is pleasant to the ear, and the guitars sparkle and sing… but we already knew that.

Jazz-inflected djent with more nous than narrative.

This album is lowkey what got me into Prog Metal today. I think it was either Rubicon Artist or Impulsively Responsible that piqued my interest and got me to listen to more Intervals. I will say the mix for some songs somehow feels very light? The low end might be cut especially around the kick for the drums and the high end is very much reduced. It just makes the project at times not feel very clear. But that could just be me. A lot of these songs come in for vacation in my head, rent-free.
I find this their best work to date and by a pretty wide margin, too. Yes, it is wonderful and amazing, but it also feels more grandiose and epic than any of their other works.
