There's not really much I can say that will add meaningful discourse to this record. It's perfect for me. It combines everything I love about music from multiple eras of my listening / taste history, but also did not realize how much I need a 70s prog rock informed cosmic death metal record (yes I did). Believe the hype, this is going to be an all-timer!!
This was my 2023 AOTY. I don't think you can make a record as perfect as this one. The fact that they did a hard pivot into prog death and executed it this well is insane. I had the fortune of being able to see them twice in the last year and it fully cemented that this is a truly special record that I think will go down as one of the best ever in all death metal.
