Bloom Stunningly beautiful, all consuming music. Their previous releases are really solid and worth a listen but you can tell all the pieces came together perfectly for this album. Truly doing justice to the ‘post-everything’ sound, falling somewhere between Respire, Fall of Messiah, Svalbard and early Lantlos.

Holy f sh*t on a stick, this album is on fire. L O V E it Favorite track: Gravity Eater.

Emery Amazing vibes with a running through-line connecting the whole album. Heavy and meditative.

Bertrand Marchal I expect this album to get a lot of play; it's very inspiring music that's a treat to listen to while working. I didn't know this band and I'm blown away by how exceptionally good it is. Bravo to the drummer in particular who imprints a ritualistic rhythm into the atmospheric fabric of the music, giving it a completely captivating spiritual and hypnotic aura. A band with a style!

heraldofennui Simply magical. After twenty years of listening goth and metal music Pothamus have effortlessly shot up to being one of my favorite bands of all time. it simply doesn't become better than this. been listening to this record for months and I'm still blown away every time I put it on

Maison Planàterre Note: Album long Jeu (lJ) du groupe Pelican (US-IL,Chicago) paru en 2007_05 édition deluxe limitée remixée & remastérisée en 2023_01. Six Titres sont ajoutés (T09à14) par rapport à l'original.

Le Titre 02 'City Of Echoes' est directement relié au style musical du groupe Pelican. On y entend du très bon post rock progressif instrumental qui écorche doucement les oreilles et laisse le cerveau pantois devant cette belle intelligence des lignes musicales présentées.

T04 guitare 5+

ajout 6Ts Favorite track: City of Echoes (Remastered).

trainh13 Probably my favorite Pelican album. It's soundscapes are just exquisite. The guitars are lilting and exploratory, the bass crunchy and massive, and the drums are simple yet underpin the whole package perfectly. A really solid performance all around. Favorite track: City of Echoes (Remastered).

Ashton Richards If a Pelican release could ever be described as short and sweet, this would be it. Favorite track: Dead Between the Walls (Remastered).

Harold N’Hiver I don’t listen to much instrumental post-rock/post-metal these days, but I’ll always have a place in my library for Pelican. While this may not live up to the grandeur of The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw (nothing does - it’s their masterpiece, an absolute perfect record), this is still a really terrific album. It has the sound of summer evenings, driving on the highway in search of something, anything, to ignite a spark in our lives. Pelican is ultimately that spark. Well done, boys! Favorite track: Flickering Stillness.

Crinklechips I was late to discover Pelican but now I know them I can’t get enough. This long awaited album is instrumental rock perfection!

shininggenji I haven't been this excited about a non-classical music album for years. The whole thing just simply ROCKS. It has all the stuff that made The Promise Ring, Hum and all those 90's bands so good (melodies, riffs and momentum) and nothing of what made them suck a bit (trite lyrics, terrible vocalists). Oh, and its perfectly heavy too.

Looking forward to seeing these tracks live! My pop/rock album of the year 2025. Favorite track: Gulch.

Oisin Holzinger Top quality riffage through this whole album! Stellar stuff! Favorite track: Fraktur.

MrJ. Take all your favorite post-metal bands and it makes Codespeaker.

The Midnight Toker. My only issue with this release is that I wish there was more. Favorite track: Dagon.
