Great album
By Mark
Intronaut have continued to evolve with this album. It retains a lot of their core sound, but the album has a much more progressive sound and the bass guitar plays a much larger role.

Some people mind think this is boring and lacks coherent song writing, but I think it's a great and interesting album with brilliant song writing that keeps you coming back for more.

The Reptilian Brain is like a hallucenogenic drug in auditory form.

Intronaut Evolved
By dugan fife
Intronaut has returned with a much more focused and cerebral approach in this knock-out disc. While "Void" exhibited a whole lot of potential and some really great songs, it also exhibited weaknesses in direction with its chaotic songwriting/arrangements.

"Prehistorisims" is a largely cohesive collection of songs in which the progression is natural and impressive. As always, solid drumming abounds, rhythms are delightfully askew, and the guitars and vocals are aggressive.

With this disc, Intronaut has really bumped it up a notch or five.

Standout tracks include "Sundial," "The Literal Black Cloud," "Any Port," and the epic "The Reptilian Brain," the latter of which employs Indian influences replete with tabla and sitar, and builds quite naturally and hypnotically into something else altogether.

The maturity of this effort is really its success, and moves Intronaut into the upper echelon of progressive metal. I'm putting them rig ht up there with Meshuggah, The Ocean, and Coprofago.

Four and a half stars (Amazon doesn't allow us to give "halves" apparently, so I erred in Intronaut's favor).

this album is in my soul forever
By Andrew
I love every note of this album

yes the tone of the guitars are dumbed down and lo-fi esque, but it works, and if they had made it with HQ clean sounding stuff I might not have liked the album as much. It has an attractive air of imperfection that stands out, though many, including myself get turned off by it at first.

I love Mastodon, Gojira amongst others and this album really is in my soul.
