Seriously tho, in my book no other band stretches the boundaries of songrwriting in such a refreshing, non-pretentious and epic way, crazy inventive but always focussed on the whole. Einar's voice is pure bliss and so is Baard's drumming. Their rhythmsection is beyond imaginative, their atmosphere one of the densest out there and their melodies are catchy and/or odd as hell. I mean who thinks: "hey i can play the same 2 notes in the same pattern for 6 minutes straight, thats sounds awesome!" ?!... but it ends up working: the uneven timesignatures together with this godly beast of a voice... their bombast is also not to underestimate! (from the newest album) (mid-end of this song) if you want it a bit wilder, just go back to tall poppy syndrom (that album is possibly one of the greatest ever!) and one word on baard... tldr: Avant-Garde-metal & progressive pop music - never sounded so pleasant!! I can literally recommend every singe album from tall poppy syndrom onwards! :) Edited by Mind_Drive - February 10 2020 at 12:29 |

Lol, you're as pretentious as them, or even more. In the universe? Lol aliens get jealous of them even. Horribly pretentious, ridiculously overrated band, if you ask me. |

^ No problem. For the record, Leprous doesn't have a single album (about 8) rated less than 4 stars in PA and are very respected.

true, if anything they are still underrated
take this lick from 1:45 for example that repeats itself only after 20 seconds, its almost totally random feel.. |

I saw them open for Haken here in Seattle.....I was impressed with their performance, overall not my cup of tea but I would not, not listen to them. I was less impressed with Haken's performance, honestly that was a let down.
Bent Knee opened the show and they were very cool!!

Saw the same line-up in Boston and came to the same conclusions. I bought the Leprous album but not the Haken. I'll listen when it comes up in rotation but I'm in no rush to search it out.

they're not tech/extreme anymore, in fact the last two albums are really mellow.

Pitfalls was not AOTY material for me, but at least i enjoyed it more than the previous one.

I love Leprous, especially Tall Poppy Syndrome to The Congregation. Not overly thrilled with the new direction although it's not bad. They're just becoming ordinary though. Best band ever? I wouldn't go that far but they certainly have been quite innovative and of high quality :)

I can somewhat agree on this, Pitfalls has not yet grown on me that much and seems to have more weak songs compared to the others (still prefer malina), on the other hand it has some of their best moments ever! If I had to rank them, it would be: Tall Poppy Syndrome The Congregation Bilateral Malina Coal Pitfalls
