Ok.

I realise how long it took me to get my hands on this and that you have all probably had it for month and months and years and shit.

BUT

Fuck me drunk, what a release.

I will writet more later when I have let it sink in a bit more, but at first listen:

Themata>Imago>The New Normal

Thoughts?

But I honestly think you have it the wrong way around...

The New Normal is hit and miss with me at times. Live all of the songs sound awesome, but a couple I just don't enjoy on CD.

Imago I love. Just lacking a little bit of balls at times to really suit my musical taste.

Having said that, I said the above as purley a first time listen. I.e. First listen to Imago Vs First listen to New Normal etc.

The New Normal has DIVERSITY though.
Imago, not as much, but still there.
Themata ends up sounding a bit samey on repeated listens.

Still, they're all great...

I'd say Karnivool is probably the superior live band though...

I agree with this.
