Wow...this has become the lost Tool release for me. Incredible power that just floors you in the Tool, Meshuggah and King Crimson 'Red' musical tradition. The dynamics are all here but in a unique, original way with the violin and harp adding a gentle ebbing of the tide but then a buildup comes and then slaps your head against the wall mixed with dual edged guitar work, dynamic drumming and low end bass work in a 'wall of sound' mix. Dark, beautiful melodies, a lot of contrasts within the dynamics and changing time signatures. The singing, from the Riverside vocalist, has a calming tone and can be the life preserver around your waist as you ride a mind blowing wave...one after the other. It's been a week and i can't bring myself to eject this from the car player...a new experience with every listen. So indescribable, so unique that each of us can have a personal transcending experience within this. Let's get behind this Polish band and look forward and encourage a 2nd release. What a hard to follow debut!
