This album is a bit of surprise, right? Based off the single they released, I thought this album would sound very similar to the previous two (not necessarily a bad thing), but it's relatively adventurous to the point that Evership's latest opus necessitates more listening to fully grasp what's there. Or maybe it's just me.

To those who have had the chance, what are your opinions thus far? I'm very eager to read them!

Same. The single didn't impress me that much but as soon as I heard the song "Yettocome / Itmightbe" I fell in love with it.

(It's the best thing I've heard this year.)

So much better than anything off their first two (decent) albums. This thing is a monster. The melodies are memorable and Beau West's voice is a miracle. The arrangements are stunning. The epic ("Yettocome/Itmightbe") is a perfect blend of Genesis and Radiohead. The closer ("Wait") is simply gorgeous. Cannot wait for Act 2.

Have listened to it three times so far and love it. Their debut was amazing, the second album was great (albeit a somewhat muffled production), they really put in a lot of attention to detail. Will put my headphones on right now and give it another spin, but yes - great stuff! Having that said, sometimes their references are kinda out there, once The Pilgrimage kicks in it's like Jon Anderson has entered the chat... (Beau West is one of my favourite newer prog vocalists - A Slow Decent into Reality... yes please!!!)
