| My favorite track is probably "The Scent of Weakness" but you tend to rely on that phase effect way too much, because The Eve of Cataclysm and Star Noise almost read as the exact same track because of that heavy phase.
I think all the tracks could benefit from a bit more layering, Attack on our Minds and Impendant's Chorus both do this thing like "here's a synth, now here's a guitar, now here's a synth" without having a "here's a synth and guitar." Some of the synth tones are a bit cheesy, but I play with cheesy synth stuff all the time, so I can't complain. I didn't the "Attack on our Minds" the boom every now and then should have built to something. The intensity level kind of stays the same through the whole album.
All and all pretty good, but almost all the tracks seem like they need something more, and the heavy phase thing is OK sometime, but I think you overdid it. Sorry to focus on "what can be improved" but honestly, would it help if everyone just went "super job, no need to improve anything ever!?" Cool stuff, if you work with it for a while longer, it could be cooler though.
