I don’t know if I’m ready to say that this is their best record, but it is very good. It feels like their entire discography put into a blender. My favorite songs are the ones that sound like Jupiter through a stoner metal lens. The title track and “blinded“ are my favorites.
I’ve listened to this every week since it’s release and I’m ready to say it whips ass completely. Every song is essential which is great considering the track lengths/run time. Nightmare Eyes is probably in my top 5 Cave In tracks now.

So I listened to this when it came out a day before my birthday, thought it was great, and then totally forgot to listen to it more despite knowing I thought it was great. Just remembered and went back to it now and this is definitely in my top albums of the year, what a fuckin nice album
I can’t wait to dig into these bonus tracks Wonder if they do anything for the 20th anniversary of Antenna
Wow, after owning a copy for years, Jupiter just clicked in a big way this evening. Took the back door to appreciating these guys, with Heavy Pendulum as my true gateway while Jupiter sat underappreciated. Then I've lately gotten hooked on Perfect Pitch Black, and finally I can hear Jupiter for the masterpiece it is.
been huge on them recently and im so in love w the tides of tomorrow title track, absolutely unreal song. almost sounds like brian wilson cowrote it
Some of their best stuff always funny to me that their softest/friendliest song “The Calypso” was written by Caleb
