I had such high hopes cause xeno was decent. much better than Anomalies(garbage), but nothing close to the greatness of anything before it. I think there was one riff that was kinda harkened back to those good times but then the rest of the song fell flat. I’d probably get this if I find it used for cheap other than that, meh.

Good review, but in all honesty, this is my album of the year so far. I would argue that it DOES push the envelope while having brutal, chaotic, and memorable songs.

Right on Erik. The first I heard from them was Xenosapien, and to be honest I did not understand the hype surrounding their “weird/spastic” take on the genre. It sounded to me like standard weedly tech death. Having checked out their earlier work, I can safely say that they were at one point worthy of the tag, but the recent songs I’ve heard do nothing for me. I will say, however, that they were fucking awesome live when I saw them at Summer Slaughter this year.

Maybe I’m just partial to them but I love this record. Its nothing earth-shattering, but it just “stuck” in that way that few releases do these days.

agreed this album is good, but not great. I’ve always been kinda parcial to their doom influenced songs

Finally, an HONEST opinion and review about this somewhat overhyped band (and album). The new album is good but I can think of atleast 5 other tech-death-grind-weirdness albums that’ve blown me away this year.
