Sacrifice closes War Of Being and my #TesseracT #Metaljourney

And sacrifices have been made. Don't get me wrong, there are some great moments on all their albums, but their overall style is something I don't really like.

I did my best, it didn't change. As harsh as it sounds but #GrowerOrBlower? Blower. Sorry.

And here is my final album ranking:

1. Altered State 3
2. One 3
3. Polaris 2,5
4. War Of Being 2
5. Sonder 2

#TesseracT the British progressive metal band from Milton Keynes... no, they haven't really touched me yet.
The #GrowerOrBlower meter stands firm at "blower", however, this song...

...of their 2023 album War Of Being has some good moments. And then there's the Djent parts and the moments are ruined.

After 3 albums the #GrowerOrBlower (copyright @trendskater ) meter indicates "Blower", but maybe that changes now?

7/n #TesseracT #Metaljourney

I apologise in advance to the many TesseracT fans.

#Polaris is done and I need to take a break now. Midway through the album it started to annoy me and made me realize: I am just not a prog fan any longer.

Ratingwise... well I got bored this time so 2,5/5

Ranking:
1. Altered State 3
2. One 3
3. Polaris 2,5

The #GrowerOrBlower metre slightly deflects to the blower.

Moving on to see if TesseracT are a #GrowerOrBlower
At the moment they are neither, so let's see if that changes with #Polaris and...

I love the bass, but it can be a bit much at times.

I guess I forgot the one spin verdict of #AlteredState 😬

Well, this could be a grower, but I guess for that it needs 10+ spins.
I'll leave it at 3/5 for now.

The #GrowerOrBlower metre still didn't move yet. Let's see if that changes.

Ranking:

1. Altered State 3
2. One 3

Album one called #One done on my #TesseracT #Metaljourney and I can't help but thinking about what I wrote when I first listened to their latest album last year:

"Do I really like #ProgMetal as much as I always thought?"

I didn't mind listening to the album and it had its moments, but nothing really clicked yet.

The #GrowerOrBlower metre has not yet deflected in any direction.

One gets a 3 out of 5 - solid, I might listen to it again.

@vanessawynn yep, I think I might have inspired @trendskater a little 😉
And I think #GrowerOrBlower is a great hashtag and fits perfectly to my current #Metaljourney 🤘

And regarding the big 4 debate... Big 4 meant big 4 in sales, and there, these 4 were way ahead of anyone else.
