It does that at first, yeah, but you absolutely need to involve yourself in the album, and be really attentive to it. 2 dozen or so spins so far and I'm only just scratching the surface, as usual. But there's lots of crazy shit, like how the 5th song "Harbinger" is actually the outro "All That Is", played backwards. And some of those bass progressions in Insomniate Vortex and Ye Olde Magicks are fucking profound.
