Why didn't you metalfags tell me this shit is actually good?

Listen to Exivious if you like Cynic.

Because we all listened to it already

We have, not our fault tourists don't listen

Focus is well-played and well-written, but not what I'd call very good. It was the lamest of jazzy technical life metal up to that point. Only considered death metal because of scene associations, and their 90's demos which got close to the genre through a technical death-thrash sound. It's like Slaughter of the Soul; it's not outright bad, but all of the terrible parts of the post-death heavy/prog metal it would inspire are there and prominent.

That was for you to find out and for us to already know about. Congrats. There’s no going back.

This shit sucks, lol

>>127607349
The jazzy and synthetic parts are what I liked best.

GOAT tier metal album, so not for the low IQ, AKA most metalheads.

Metalfags hate everything technical and prog because they're retarded cavemen

False (see DMU's favorites) but that would still be based if true.

>>127609260
this

>>127609260
It's depressing that they were discouraged from making a quick follow-up.

>>127609335
I know, it sucks that there's no median sound between Focus and TiA. Chances are it would have continued the sound of "How Could I" and "Textures".

>>127609308
DMU hates Opeth lol

Would've been perfect. Fucking plebs ruin everything.

>>127609944

>>127606547
Thanks anon, this is cool.

>>127609944
goddamn it I would have sold my ass to both sean and paul for that to happen fucking fags

>metalfags hate 2 things their genre partially represents at their absolute peak
I think you're confused with hardcore, retard

What's the greatest prog metal album of all time?

>>127609990
>>127613430
>if it doesn't sound like early prog metal cliches it's not progressive metal
Do you think "alternative" music is still alternative, too?

Autistic metalfags hate when metal pushes boundaries or does anything differently though.

>>127606499 (OP)
I don't what metalfags you were talking to. I would've told you it's good. Most of the people here who trash it are trying too hard to fit in. Though the robot voice stuff understandably filters most people, it's not as bad as some make it out to be. Also the cover looks like a vag.

>>127606547
first time in a while that /mu/ had a solid recommendation for a band i've absolutely never heard of
ty anon, this is a solid intro to them

>metalheads hate what's technical/progressive because it's different
>>not so, these guys here like uphold metal that's technical/progressive plenty
>that doesn't fit my narrow definition of technical/progressive
>>sounds like you hate what's different
>metalheads hate what's different o algo
Your talent of talking in circles would make you a successful politician.

>metalheads hate what's technical/progressive because it's different
>>not so, these guys over here uphold metal that's technical/progressive all the time
>that doesn't fit my narrow definition of technical/progressive
>>sounds like you hate what's different
>uhhhh metalheads hate what's different o algo
Your talent of talking in circles would make you a successful politician.

It’s “Human”, but on acid, which is fine with me. It’s a legendary album that any metal head should listen to at least one time in their life.

If you like that album, I can recommend you this:

This was recorded in the 90s too, but
>Recorded at Fussion Studios between early 1996 and late 1998.
>Re-engineered, re-mixed and remastered in 2023 by Any Second.

It has those weird vocals with effect just like that Cynic iirc, the music is also technical, but a bit more brutal

>>127614418
Answer my question, buddy.
