can some people really not tell the difference between real mic'd drums and programmed/sound replaced drums
i could tell they weren't real from the moment i heard them.i really wish this would have been keenes solo album, it almost ruined the faceless for me.

I just cant get over the fact that there is no production on this album, especially the drums sound so fucking horrible. Its just a waste of this very well written music.

Yeah, the mid gain tones sound ok but the rest suck

What kind of sauce?
First listen just blew me away. The 3 movements are such a great listen. Can't listen to the first without listening to the other 2. Don't even know how else to describe the album than it just so cool.

I think the album is awesome. It's no Planetary Duality but it's The Faceless and it's great. The first 5 tracks and Hymn Of Sanity are incredible.

I don't think I've ever seen a more split fanbase opinion on one album than this one.
Autotheism got me into the Faceless, so I think pretty highly of it.
Go ask 100 BTBAM fans what they think of The Silent Circus.
The Silent Circus rocks. I think most BTBAM fans, even if they prefer the Colors era, would agree.

^Silent Circus rocks. now go ask 100 what they think of Alaska, and you will see quite a divide
you should ask the BTBAM fans what album they are the most divided about to get the most divided answer it seems
I like Autotheism so far. I think it gets a lot of stick for not being Planetary Duality which is fine I guess but few bands make progressively (no pun) better records from the start to the end of their careers, and I don't really know what album could satisfy the ridiculous expectations people had either.
Yes Keene blabber emotions all time, ugh! production far from flawless across equalizer. ugh! For anyone with modest expectations this is a great album though and by no means are the Faceless now a shitty DM band no one cares about.

Autotheism blew me away at first. I 'really' liked the direction they were going with the more melodic approach, along with Keene's vocals. However the novelty wore off very quickly and now I'm not really sure what to think of it..

I absolutely love pretty much everything about Autotheism. Super fanboy. Sure, I would have been happy with PD 2.0 but I think that would have gotten a bit stale after awhile. It's still very much The Faceless, just with more aspects of which were always present but in smaller doses on previous releases. But, I definitely can respect the opinions of those who are turned off by it.

To be honest though, The Faceless is the one band where I would have loved to have a "Planetary Duality Pt. II". With bands like BOO, Periphery, etc it's cool to see them grow and try new things out but I would've been totally satisfied with another album in the vein of PD

I think that might be because PD was really short.
Felt more like an EP.
I personally love the fact that it's short. It's the perfect length for that album IMO.
Autotheism, I have to admit, did not blow me away though.
I found the first three songs to be good despite the already pointed out "ripoffs" but the rest of the album just comes off really...meh.
Except for that Microsoft Sam song...I despise that song.
