Will probably hear it in a week or two, then I'll comment on it. I'm quite looking forward to it, although I have to say Focus - as groundbreaking as it was at the time - is not standing the test of time that well in my personal top-whatever list.
You can ( legally ) try to check this song if you havent:

The album....pissed out a while ago.... ordered the CD. Heard the piss out though - great album, it's Cynic to the max, however the processed vocals are felt in abundance, imo, sometimes tick me off. But overall a brilliant

I think this album will almost certainly clench album of the year from Opeth's Watershed and Amon Amarth's Twilight of the Thunder God.
Quite frankly, I would not be surprised if this album made it into my all time top 10 or even 5.
Cynic rule, seeing them live this summer at Wacken was great, and I can't wait for seeing them again in November. I'm actually leaving the Opeth show after Cynic, god i hate Opeth at the moment.

I don't dislike Opeth as much as you but I agree, Traced in Air is just so far away from everything else is not funny. I hope this generation of metalheads learns to appreciate Cynic this time around.

Are You Scared Enough?
You ought to be treated for priapism.
The last generation appreciates Cynic also, Focus has always been heralded, at least in the metal communities I interact with. Its a really good album, but not the be-all, end-all.

I like Opeth's music, the only issue is them as people, just the most arrogant band you could ever wish to see on stage.
Yeah - OMFG Traced In Air is coming out soon

Erh, I hope you're kidding? If you think that Mikael is seriously arrogant you need to have your head checked and look up the definition of irony and sarcasm in a dictionary. And even if you don't get his sense of humour, wtf gives you the right to call the whole band arrogant? They're super sweet guys, definitely in the same league as Stanne.
^ Well said, Mister.
EDIT: On topic, Cynic sound pretty cool actually. Technical and thoughtful, and the solos are lovely. Are there any other bands that have this sort of 'jazz-fusion' (if that's accurate) take on technical metal?

Jazz-Fusion is accurate. And honestly I almost never run into metal bands doing fusion, right now I can only think of Red Tide.

AWARE! BEWARE! WAR!
Apokatastasia they are an instrumental-only band but I do believe they could be considered "jazz-fusion metal". Not as technical as Cynic, more on the progressive side, though.
Songs 2-3-4 and 5 from their myspace are excellent examples of the band's style.

Not really the same style but you should try
Atheist - Unquestionable Presence
Atheist - Elements
Death - Sounds of Perseverance
Pestilence - Spheres
if you haven't already

i know what irony and sarcasm are, and whatever trace of that there used to be in Akerfeldt's stage show, its gone now
he is so arrogant on stage now its not even a joke, and if it is, it's wearing thin to the point of becoming tiresome
they come across as arrogant in interviews, and i can call them what i like can't i? everyone is entitled to their own opinion after all

I liked it, but I'm more of a fan of the new Ihsahn for metal album of the year and as for all genres, I'd go with the new REM

FloriiiiiiiooooooOOO!
Incredible album...Def number 1 this year...I like it as much as Focus.
Watershed has got to be the biggest dissapointment of the year
