2 stars On Sonder, Tesseract have, sadly, demonstrated that they are a mere one-trick pony. While other progenitors of the djent movement have at least attempted to evolve their sound, Tesseract have decided to stick to their guns by packaging together record that is best described as a soppy distilling of previous efforts.

I admit that, taken in isolation, I might feel differently about this record. After all, all the elements that fans love about Tesseract are here: trippy riffs, beautiful ambience, big choruses, funky bass verses, etc. But when compared to the previous three records, there is simply nothing here that stands up favorably by comparison.

I imagine Tesseract fan boys who don't expect their progressive music to progress will be satisfied with this record. For those fans hoping Tesseract would use their truly impressive abilities and musical foundations to progress music further, this album will bore you to death.
