Anyone "acquired" the new Cynic record yet?

[GarethSE]

Got it last night.
In my opinion, a worthy a successor to Focus.
For realz.

the mix is great. the dynamic is very impressive.

Ummm, I may have heard it.....

I was pumped up for the CD release, but on the release date I heard about the one month delay.....I could not wait any longer to hear it, what can I say?
However, I'll most certainly be buying this in every available format, so I don't feel bad about checking out the leak. But being that the album was leaked - I hope the delayed release doesn't cost them any sales....

But back to the record, yes, I think it's amazing. It's exactly what I hoped it would be.

Agreed. Fucking fantastic mix. Quite natural sounding (considering the robot vocals and all.. haha,) and somehow, strangely brutal even though it's a pretty chilled.

And yeah, very dynamic. I likeee.

EDIT: Aye, I'm definately gonna be buying this one. First CD I'll have bought in a while. They deserve my money for this one.

Delayed to Nov 14th... just like Abigail Williams, so I still have to endure the wait...

It's actually available as a digital download on amazon, itunes and the like. But you will have to wait for an actual CD...

EDIT:

Well... and it's available for digital download other places too, if that's the way you roll

It's strange how in the first 2 or 3 songs, the kick drum is really overloading the whole mix... it almost has a ducking effect. After those songs, it gets back no "human" volumes. And, biggest let down for me, you almost can't hear Malone's bass (or at least, as I was used to hear it on milestone records such as Focus and Aghora's debut: pulsating and rhytmic) - and that's definitely a shame.

Apart from these things, yes, the record is almost perfect, though too short. And I think nobody was expecting a "Focus pt.2", after 13 years or so - this is the natural evolution of incredible musicians who have since grown up. "Adam's Murmur" is a masterpiece.

Really looking forward to this one. Have not heard the first album yet, but can't wait to get my hands on both.

 

[skuller]

the drummer is so ffffin tight on this new record. love it!

 

[lordcthulhu]

Hell yeah! The tom fills are so crisp, sounds fantastic!

 

[MKS]

It's also available on Rhapsody.

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

Got it on the 14th, very happy with it. Let's see if it holds up as well as Focus over a longer time...

 

[Proggm]

I did. It literally made me cry. Loved it infinitely.
