Comity - The Journey is Over Now

Super-progressive Mathcore from France.  I know you've heard the style a million times, but this band takes it to new levels of complexity and grandiosity.  It's four tracks that span 51 minutes, for starters.  Also, the amount of riffs here are staggering.  The length of the sheet music is probably about the same as the last Suffocation album.  Seemingly none of these segments are repeated later on in the album, they just keep changing the rhythm every few bars or so, never really letting you "relax" (which is kind of the point in this type of sharply discordant music).  I do wish the guitars were much more distorted and heavy, but the  jangly, clean-ish tones do sort of have their own charm too.
