There Is A Lack of Substance

When we examine the discography of the band Soen, we can see a serious dearth in creativity post Cognitive. This is not to say the music is bad, I think the argument can be made for either Tellurian or Lotus as being their best work, but on Lykaia and in particular Imperial the lack of substance, in spite of a very enjoyable listening experience, is palpable.

There is evidence of a return to form in Thurifer, a track I find rather dense and spirited.
