an arrival, we see
controversial, with hints of chicanery
the tactician deceives whomever they please
this image reaches far beyond the optical limits,
and paints this story’s next scene
here, we have potpourri; its aroma saturates the tent
a ventriloquist works to intrigue and enthrall
the children sit idle
the adults scratch and squirm
the dummy’s mouth flaps
entertaining them all
its plastic teeth speak superficial words of jest
speckles of insight hidden beneath
next, we have intimacy
at least, the kind that we dream
precisely the kind that he dreams
...oh, that’s her
we fail to understand our own thoughts
and yet, we find...
the perfect discovery
the perfect illusion
and so, the cycle begins
A beautiful piece of work, can't stop spinning it. Explores multiple genres, multiple emotions, and tells a fantastic story from beginning to end. Arecibo (once you click with the story) brings a tear to the eye. One of my favorite albums I've discovered this year Dawn
I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 28, 2021
Abstract Illusion achieve to create an imaginary landscape that magnets to our metallic soul. An extraordinary rounded album that will continue spinning for a long period. josich
