3/4 through my first listen and this is impressing me at every turn.

That opening track?
The band?
Max's voice?
The WRITING? Shit, the writing here is *def* some of his best.

Usually like to listen a few times before making any big declarations, but I'm thinking that this will rank a notch or two above the last album (which I love)... honestly, the longer grooves and winding melodies here feel more like Embrya than he has since... well, Embrya. But with a more pop-minded sensibility. Only worry is that after a few listens some filler will show itself (already not really feeling "Lost" especially coming after the powerhouse that is "Gods"), but so far the tracklisting has been tight, no fluff, strong sequencing --- a full album, for sure.

Starting a new job today but this is getting played right up until I walk in the door, and will get cued up again as soon as I'm out!
