Wow.

"New CD from Cynic."

That ranks right up there with "Pitchers and catchers report" as four of the best words in the English language.

so far i aint digging it....

It is nothing like focus, and it is way too short. I hope they do another one, because after 15 years, I was expecting something more, on top of that, I want more heavy parts.

Too short? It's a couple minutes shorter than Focus. I can't imagine why you would expect Cynic to be anything approaching heavy either. Amazing? Yes. Heavy? Most definitely not, nor have they ever been.

I think it's an outstanding album.

I always thought focus was short too. I like the album, but was hoping for them to do more heavier stuff, cause I loved the heavier stuff.

Yeah, I enjoyed the heavier stuff, but considering the musical directions the guys went in post-Focus I really wasn't expecting it. I think it's an amazing album all the same and my favorite release of the year so far.

The more I listen to it I'm actually beginning to prefer it to Focus.

That is one seriously bold statement!

Man, I can't wait to listen to this (will share thoughts once it's sunk in a few times)!

Give it some time, but I stand by that statement. It's clearly not going to have the impact on the genre that Focus did, but I think it's a much more focused (pun not intended), well-written album. It takes all of the elements that were present on Focus and combined them in to a much more compelling album (and this is coming from someone who adores Focus).

Got it yesterday, listened to it a few times. Amazing album. At first blush, I think I will like it more than Focus, which is one of my favorite albums of all time.

This will be my top album of the year for sure, and will be that way for many others I suspect.

Indeed, it's an amazing album through and through.

Agreed.

This is my favorite metal disc of the year, possibly the decade.

 

[Pellaz]

Wow. Muzt. Get. This.

 

[Anubisaxe]

I am listening to it now and have decided that I need to see this live. I've read they don't plan on doing a real U.S tour until 2010...hopefully that will change.

As far as I'm aware they'll be making the rounds in the US early next year (January/February specifically).

I like it. But better than Focus? No way.
