GM is one of those bands that for every ripping track they put out, they have about 3-4 snoozers to go along with it.

This. I was not impressed with GM's last offering, seemed like they ditched any level of creativity for a bland and repetitive rock approach, ala Nickelback. "When the Oar Strikes the Water" suggests what the band can do when they try.

I'll check out The Hunt, hope it's a revival.
 
Absolutely. "Covenant" has got to be one of the best prog metal albums I ever heard.

EDIT: They really botched the track-list on "Spirits Fly" though, "Hypnosis of Birds" got it right.
