    A more matured and refined version of my favourite math-rock trio.
    Tim Collins guitar work knows when to be played simplistic or insanely technical.
    Henry's vocals are greatly improved upon in this album, this is especially seen in the song "Consoling Ghosts". Chris' drumming is amazing (as always) and greatly diverse (especially in this record). If you're a TTNG fan, you will love    A more matured and refined version of my favourite math-rock trio.

    Occasionally, Tremain struggles to find a home amid the Collis' calm chaos, though his restrained and sustained bass lines are a non-cluttering foil demonstrating the importance of song dynamics, which isn't always a priority with math rockers. [No. 134, p.61]

    Its sturdy set should also prove a worthwhile find for those interested in offshoots of math rock, or a kind of controlled virtuosity suited for rainy-day instrument workouts.

    Despite the changes, many things remain the same, and fans can look forward to a solid third instalment.
