 Intronaut Evolved November 28, 2008
Intronaut has returned with a much more focused and cerebral approach in this knock-out disc. While "Void" exhibited a whole lot of potential and some really great songs, it also exhibited weaknesses in direction with its chaotic songwriting/arrangements.
"Prehistorisims" is a largely cohesive collection of songs in which the progression is natural and impressive. As always, solid drumming abounds, rhythms are delightfully askew, and the guitars and vocals are aggressive.
With this disc, Intronaut has really bumped it up a notch or five.
Standout tracks include "Sundial," "The Literal Black Cloud," "Any Port," and the epic "The Reptilian Brain," the latter of which employs Indian influences replete with tabla and sitar, and builds quite naturally and hypnotically into something else altogether.
The maturity of this effort is really its success, and moves Intronaut into the upper echelon of progressive metal. I'm putting them right up there with Meshuggah, The Ocean, and Coprofago.
Four and a half stars (Amazon doesn't allow us to give "halves" apparently, so I erred in Intronaut's favor).
Great Album November 14, 2008
Another great album from Intronaut. The Drums alone make it at least 3 stars and then you add everything else to it and you've got a 5 star album. This album is not as heavy as they're previous work, but MOST fans of Intronaut will enjoy this album. For fans of Mastodon, Isis, Neurosis, etc.
intronaut has done it again November 2, 2008
funny how people that don't actually take in the album as a whole think that their opinion means something...oh heaven forbid there's less metallic riffs in this release...you dont have to have those kinds of riffs all the time to be a great band. REAL fans will appreciate this...posers will not.
 Awful. October 24, 2008

This is Intronaut without the metal riffs. Thus, you get a bunch of ambient, directionless lounge music. No statement here, just mindless jazzy lounge noodling.
