Just one listen so far and that is not enough. There is so much going on in it with some influence from King Crimson (Lizard era) but also some jazz and RIO. It's a fun ride for sure. Will easily make my top five of the year , with only Frost* and Glass Hammer ahead but that could change after further listens.

First impression: Music great, vocals not so much.

I really liked the debut album. The new one sounds more mature, for lack of a better term. I suspect it will be high on my list this year.

It is true. The Norwegians are releasing more awesome albums than ever. Just look at Wobbler, Jordsjø, Ring Van Möbius.... :)

I have no hesitation saying that it is the best album of the year.
As a matter of fact, with its current numbers from its ratings and reviews, it would rank as #10 on PA's TOP PROG ALBUMS (ALL-TIME) list! I think it's wonderful to see that 21st Century albums and artists are making their mark in the Valhalla of Prog's All-Time Greats. Hail Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Wobbler, All Traps on Earth, Änglagård, and even Maudlin of The Well/Kayo Dot, The Mars Volta, and Opeth! You are worthy! |

Possibly but there's a lot of competition this year. Definitely will make the top 10

I gave the debut 4.5 stars and this one while different hits my sweet spot. I should mention he thanks me in the liner notes on the new one so I'm biased. Been showing everyone that.  |

5 stars for me and it's been a while since I've given that rating out.

I think it is a masterpiece, I gave it 5 stars, it is a brilliant and intelligent album. This album and Caligonaut - Magnified as giants are my favourite of the year.
