I also really like the Cynic vibe in some of the riffs and solos.
I feel like this album will continue to grow on me the more I listen to it, but it is in no way better than Planetary Duality.
EDIT: Does anyone else miss the spacey vibe of Planetary Duality? I thought they did that sound better than anyone and they pretty much ditched it on this album.

Yeah, I listened to it again today and I am really enjoying it, but it's not as good as
Planetary Duality. There are a few songs I really love though. And while I do miss the spacey feel, I am glad they're leaving it behind. The new sound is unique and it helps set them apart from the sea of technical death metal bands oversaturating the scene right now. I just wish the album was more consistent.
