3 stars Listening diary 15th January, 2021: Karnivool - Asymmetry (post-prog, 2013)

Given that these guys have two of my favourite ever albums preceding this, I've always felt like I should go back and try and get this. This was attempt #4 and probably my most successful yet, but I'm still not really sold. I admire them a lot for making this - it's undeniably quite creative and is miles away from Sound Awake just as that was miles away from Themata. But there's just nothing to grip onto - no hooks, no atmospheres, no melody, no riffs. It's got some great drumming and some great production, but I never seem to remember anything from it, which is the antithesis of their first two albums. Perhaps I'll never get it, but at least I know that whenever they emerge with album 4 it won't be them standing still.

6.4 (4th listen)
