I genuinely feel like this is near perfection. I've listened to this album way too many times and every song hits. Floating on a Moment is magical, Burden of Life is haunting, Reaching Out is amazing, and every song is just... memorable.

My only gripe with the LP is just that it doesn't sound as clean as it should. It sounds a bit muggy and dirty to the point where a lot of instruments drown out other instruments. I understand the point of thrasher but there are some tracks that aren't so thrashy, but they sound thrasher just by how it sounds/mixed.
The only weak tracks are <Of Her> and <Aching> which feel incomplete. I wish they somehow combined the songs or something because those tracks ... read more
