Statospheria Cubensis makes Redefine's Top Ten Albums of 2010
------
This album's title is a reference to the most potent psychedelic mushroom available to man, and I would be the first to suggest that it would be impossible to drop such a densely brilliant slab of prog- metal mindfuckery without the aid of such performance-enhancing chemicals. This disc is like a Gordian knot of riffs within riffs that I found myself compulsively listening to over and over and over again, determined to make sense of the overwhelming complexity. It just seems impossible. They're really redefining the word "labyrinthine" with this, their sophomore outing, which can seem kind of wanktastic to the casual observer. But what I found with repeat listens is that they're always building to something -- and when that wave finally breaks, it's a gloriously decadent euphoria. THE MOST EPIC METAL ALBUM IN HISTORY!
