magoski Push yourself to that edge of the cliff
where even the slightest movement
will propel you off the edge
without weight
thoughtful disintegration
is a metamorphic goodbye
We exist in a soup
filled with memories, reflections
& dreams
of transformation
& reinvention
of self
esteem
is always an issue
Am I good enough? Am I smart enough? Am I strong enough?
Chasing these questions
in a never ending
spiral
masquerading as a straight line

blackplaid Like most, the line between professional and personal blurs at the most inopportune. This album exposes raw ennui at the existential entropy of the system.

This artist is always stretching boundaries, exemplified by her continuing exploration of instruments such as Guitar under the tutelage of esteemed contemporaries Cyberattack, Rhett Shull, and Dick McRocklin.

lilcheesegraterawesomesauce11 the album cover matches the music perfectly like im not joking. Favorite track: II.

dangerchris85 I like to listen to this while I do video editing at work.
The whole album is great top to bottom.
Primo album art too.

Stonez One of the most fun records I’ve ever heard! Funky, groovy, and eclectic. Plenty of earworms in here, too. Favorite track: Gemini Sun.

jtridesbicycles Soaring funk! All aboard the soul ship. Favorite track: Chronicles of a Diamond.

themetaladdict I discovered this album in 2023, around the time it came out. As my first exposure to Panopticon, it left enough of an impression on me to stick with the band and listen through the entire discography. Even after falling in love with other albums within Panopticon's discography, this album remains a favorite of mine. Few can match the balance of beauty and harshness like this album. Simply put: exceptional. Favorite track: Winter's Ghost.

wsamsaal A very big album. Over an hour full of calm and intensity delivered in a way only Panopticon can. Masterfully put together and expertly executed. Very well done. Favorite track: Cedar Skeletons.

pinkytheent This one hit hard. Amidst family suffering and going on trips into the threatened wilderness for peace, this record was made for me. A shattering mountainslide of wild emotion, while also having a clearer production and maybe the most cinematic feel yet. I echo others: metal and folk gels ever more with each record. Devastating, inspiring, chilling, man those chorus vocals – be prepared to get emotional. Austin, you knock it out of the park again and I will see you when FITM returns! Favorite track: Winter's Ghost.
