Started a bit slow, but I enjoyed it by the end. Look forward to hearing more.

I don't know what that style of music is -- nor do I know how I would describe it ......... what I do know is that after that song, I checked out some others, and I deem that band - awesome. Especially the singer .........

That feels like a band that would whip me up into a frenzy given the right environment .......... they definitely have something going on there....... sign me up for May 24th.

Yeah this album will be amazing, no doubt. The debut was phenomenal, although extremely inspired by Leprous (no wonder - drummer Baard is in both bands...). The new single sounds like a good continuation of the debut.

That could have fit right in on the last 2-3 Leprous records. More specifically Malina. It's the Muse thing Leprous has been going too lately. Not bad, but kinda Meh for me.
Edit to add - hopefully there are more diverse songs on the record.

Yes - Definitely a clear Leprous sound! The “Muse” comparison is one I think Leprous hates lol .. they always claim to be inspired by Radiohead and not Muse (but yeah Muse in my opinion perfected the sound/style that Radiohead was going for - I only like a little bit of Radiohead whereas I love most of Muse’s catalogue).

Wow really? I figured they were big Muse fans. Especially Einar. I don’t listen to Muse or Radiohead much honestly. Though there are some songs I like. The Rome Blu-ray show Muse put out is a monster, I must admit.

“Apollo” was a great first single and “Universal Chaos “ is even better. Really looking forward to this album.

I don't care for Leprous and am unfamiliar with Muse but this sounds terrific!

[LarryD]

Pretty good stuff there ...... looking forward to hearing more ........

Not thrilled with "Apollo" on first listen, but "Universal Chaos" is solid.

[ToddS]

Ok, I’m totally into this track, and want to hear more!

Ugh

What a “blue balls” moment this album turned out to be. Three great singles and then the album comes out and just is an overall really bland experience. Listened to it a few times throughout the day (on my morning run, in the car, at work and now at home) and it’s just underwhelming ... the singles are by far the best songs on the disc and the other 6 songs are either “okay” or quite boring truth be told. This is a band still only on their second album so I’m hoping they can come up with a stronger third effort because they’ve now delivered two albums that hold a ton of promise but are really unfulfilled.
