Experimental/Post Metal

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

What a disappointment for me just one year after the excellent Synchestra! I always consider parody or theatrical elements potentially dangerous to focus on music.

If jokes and lyrical plays do not interrupt the music flow, I can stay focused on the music because I almost always ignore the lyrics. Here, despite the undisputable music highlights, it disturbs me significantly.

The drums, programmed by DT himself, sound somewhat artificially. Some of the songs such as "Ziltoidia Attax" are agressive but don't bring the necessary quality. The best tracks are the longest ones. The usual songwriting skills are not much on display on this record. Therefore 3 stars only.
