I would like to know what you think. It seems to be a very serious candidate and, to me and what I've heard from this year.... I think there is nothing as intelligent, exciting and neat as this new release, it will probably gain a lot of recognition over time. Norway is undoubtedly one of the kings of 21st century progressive. If you haven't heard this album yet, I don't know what you're waiting for! :)

It's in my top 10. The new Alco Frisbass album is my favorite of 2021 at the moment.

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.

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

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.LOL

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

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!

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

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.

First impression: Music great, vocals not so much.
