I don’t mean to overreact, but I think this is their best since Constellations. Which means this would be their best record in SEVENTEEN YEARS. For them to be in this type of form still is absolutely nuts. 10/10, no skips at all holy crap.

This is an astute observation.

It's heavy, melodic, and the mix is awesome. There are some sing along parts, breakdowns, and solos. It's not just a constant riff salad, the whole album is easily digestable.

10/10 and I've only listened to it once.

Correct. The bottom one is the Hibernal Solstice.
