I've listened to it once so far. I like it. There are points that it's verges on the edges of Tech Death, not overt like later Death. More just flourishes here & there. Musically, Alan's playing & the solos have really stood out so far. As far as Brian's vocals go, I think its a great first outing. My gripes are that he stays in that mid-range most of the record...but I get it, it's his first record as the main vocalist. I'm hoping he can develop his guttural & screeches. I would imagine he has some natural talent within the Black Metal style shrieks & screams. I think he can do it. Lyrically, less refined & literary driven compared to Trevor buuuut....I get it. Brian does have a very solid grip on storytelling. Very strong effort. I'm eager to hear more. Good review man! -Dustin
