Karnivool!

Wow, I guess I'm a little late to the party, but this album is pretty damned excellent!

The album is on Youtube and I just clicked on it on your recommendation. Seems like a good find so far.

'New Day' is a really nice change of pace. Glad it's not all progressive metal riffage.

Definitely... There is a lot of stuff going on throughout. I'm hearing some pretty good time changes and creative riffs. Some solid musicianship, and some good experimentation as well...

Just wanted to pass on a good one! :)

I'm gonna play it over the next few days. I often find that even with all the excellent musicianship, the actual songs can get boring very quickly. That's my issue with Tool and this is reminiscent of them, but slightly more interesting to my ears so I'll keep with it.

The one-two punch at the end of 'Dead Man' into 'Change' is pretty epic!
