I like the new album 100 times better than the first album.

The Reverend · 11-04-2011, 12:02 AM

First album = progressive metalcore meets jazz-infused virtuoso.
Weightless is something totally different. I'm in love.

Stealthdjentstic · 11-04-2011, 12:33 AM

Metalcore? Wat

. Not surprising, considering Tosin had been in a metalcore band for quite a while, yeah?

asher · 11-04-2011, 01:02 AM

I got a bonus CD as well. Himsa - Hail Horror.

Will administer Weightless to my car tomorrow on my way to this weekend's tournament, while wearing my new shirt, which looks totally awesome

LamaSabachthani · 11-04-2011, 02:55 AM

I think this will be my first physical CD purchase in a while. So stoked ... can't wait to hear the new stuff. Love this band! haven't said that in so long and it feels damn good to be able to say it again.

Evil Weasel · 11-04-2011, 05:43 AM

Pre-order was shipped a few days ago. Pity it takes so long to cross the Atlantic or else I would be wearing the hoody now

glassmoon0fo · 11-04-2011, 07:50 AM

how has NO ONE put up any vids of them playing the new songs in their set?! goddammit, i have tabbing to do

elrrek · 11-04-2011, 09:06 AM

Goes to Prosthetic, clicks "download" to buy the record and have it now.

Get's redirected to itunes. Closes window immediately. .... that.

I am now pissed. Especially seeing as listening to "Somnarium" at LA Weekly is suggesting I am going to like this.

This one is on youtube:

Solodini · 11-04-2011, 10:40 AM

I've been underwhelmed by a lot of what I've listened to from the new album but the big band-style section half way through To Lead You... is so fun!

DaethedralXiphos7FX · 11-04-2011, 01:44 PM

I think the self titled is really just something to show off Tosin's skill (with help from Misha) and his wide range of virtuosity on the guitar. Weightless to me seems like a statement. For one it shows that all of them collaborate really well having a strong fusion influence mixed with some sic grooves. On top of that, I think the title says it all meaning that I think a lot of people thought that this album would not have as much pump and 'weight' to hit, but it's kicking my ass!!!

*Fav tracks;
Earth Departure
Do Not Go Gently
New Eden
Weightless

Double A · 11-04-2011, 06:01 PM

This is easily my number one album of 2011. From the first riff to the ending of David, pure bliss. I think the only track I could do without is Espera, which doesn't really do anything for me but, heh.

Cylindrical Sea is easily the stand out track on this album for me. The great Cynic-y vibe it has really brings me back.

GSingleton · 11-04-2011, 06:28 PM

espera imo is awesome. Its the track from the song clip videos. I like it cause it sets the ambiance and goes well with the cover art and all

Alimination · 11-04-2011, 11:08 PM

the song weightless is defiantly the best. The way it ends is amazing

codync · 11-05-2011, 12:26 AM

Meh, I'm glad to hear Hyphens revisited, but I much prefer the original. I'm a little offended that Tosin only plays the main riff once.

Subz · 11-05-2011, 02:18 PM

Saints and Sinners was amazing. Got there late and missed TesseracT but just in time for Animals as Leaders. Tosin used his new LACS for the whole set. There set was mind-blowing. BTBAM was awesome as well.

drmosh · 11-05-2011, 02:54 PM

my cd still hasn't arrived

pineappleman · 11-05-2011, 03:21 PM

I feel so ....ing classy listening to this album.

FatKol · 11-05-2011, 04:19 PM

I'm listening to this cd all day and night, a thousand times better than the first. But I'm missing something: Where is the "Javier-Reyes Song", he plays live?!

Where is that piece? It's sooooo beautiful! He played it also in the studio update videos. Was so looking forward to hear this on the album....

1st 2 tracks were kinda hard to swallow and kinda made me nervous especially odessa. i thought the rest of the album was gonna be ......... like it but then somnarium came on and i jizz and cried tears of joy!

JoeyBTL · 11-05-2011, 07:17 PM

new lacs in action. want more.

GSingleton · 11-05-2011, 07:36 PM

I am sorry but I LOVE THEIR CUSTOMS!

Esp Javier's its classy yet intense at the same time.

xfilth · 11-05-2011, 07:41 PM

I like this AALbum so far

Especially because they got a better snare sound. Couldn't ....ing stand the snare on the s/t.
