Thank you so much for sharing my review - it means a lot to me ๐๐
I like Lotus much better. Haven't got a grip on Imperial yet... don't know why, though.
Lotus gets the upper hand because of the production/mix, imperial a close second
I’m still listening to Imperial album every day, nothing else I listen to...
Amazing album guys! Lotus has a slight edge over imperial for me but it's definitely a great album. The production of imperial doesn't give it the best chance unfortunately - I can barely hear the bass at times and the highs are a bit pronounced.. it makes it (for me) only enjoyable to listen to on a sound system of at least "decent" quality. Thank you for all the amazing music over the years ๐ค
I like Imperial more. Great album. You guys should check out my review on YouTube!
Imperial is great, but Lotus is better โ๏ธ๐
I like to call this Slowen. My wife calls it Joel Sings. Haven't quite made it through to the end of all these ballads. It's just for someone else, I suppose.
I think Imperial is close to perfect. I would just wish for more vocal harmonies and background singing instead of that very repetetive main vocal echo that is on most verses. Rest of the album is perfect ๐
I tend to agree. Imperial is an amazing album.
Imperial is not bad at all but Lotus is unbeatable...it's missing a lot of real bass lines!!!
Imperial is undoubtedly the peak of your discography.
You should headline every single forthcoming festival!
Soen, Random but I've always purchased your albums on bandcamp and recently picked up Imperial (big fan). Lotus is the only album I'm missing and there's no digital option to purchase the album on your site. If I were to buy the CD, it's 470 SEK or $56.80 USD vs the $9.67 I paid for Imperial. Are there any official plans to put the older albums on bandcamp or another platform where they can be purchased for download (FLAC preferred)? Thanks
And if this reviewer says so, you bet your behinds it's true! ๐
its stellar from start to finish!!!
Loved Lotus. Really like Imperial too but I prefer the style and mix of Lotus
Album of the year!
I do not get the Katatonia references at all. I love them but there's no comparison.
Tellurian was better guys!
Este disco es el conjunto de todo lo bueno que ha hecho Soen con una temática única emotiva en forma de protesta. Una obra maestra
I don't know yet since my LP hasn't arrived yet and my first impression shall be from the record - not some streamed bs... ๐
Yeah - extremely good album! Sabine - I want to see these guy live finally! (Missed a lot of opportunities during the last years...) ๐๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป
personally, I like those two albums equally, both are amazing, can't stop listening them...โ
All your albums are fantastic!โค๏ธ

Come back to Mexico again, please. There is a lot of people who wants You back ๐
Regresen a México!! Fue mi último concierto en vivo.
Empiecen en México otra vez!
Regresen a México con Imperial!!!๐
Los esperamos, pero cambien de lugar en Santiago .es muy mal lugar blondie pesimo sonido .teatro caupolican y en 1 sola fecha
Mexico needs to hear "Imperial" ๐ค๐ป
Come back to MEXICO, Please!
Agreguen a México con este nuevo disco
As you're coming to LatAm, come back to México again!
México ๐ฒ๐ฝ again! Please!
México please ๐๐๐ป
Please, come to México ๐ฒ๐ฝ
Still looking forward to see you in Chile ๐จ๐ฑ So I remain hopeful that in 2022 it will happen! ๐ค Although the chosen place in Santiago is not the best for a live show, the sound and the view is really bad at Blondie! ๐ Hopefully you will consider moving the show, perhaps to the Caupolican Theater ๐๐ป
Hope you can add a visit to México! Love you!
Come back to México also!!
Nos tocó en Monterrey verlos, de las últimas presentaciones previo a la oficial declaración de pandemia ๐ฑ๐
Una pasadita a México de nuevo, les queda de paso.
Your show at México City was the last show I could go to before the pandemic situation, it was amazing! One of the best I've been in, and even when I know the rest of Latin America deserves the same experience, a lot of Mexicans want you back!!! We love you and I hope that becomes true soon.
Mexico is waiting for you!!!!!!
Excelente, los esperamos en Guatemala, que genial que podrán venir ๐ฌ๐น๐ฌ๐น
México again ๐ค๐ฒ๐ฝ
Aguante soen.. Lo bueno que vendrán con 2 excelentes discos..... Chile pondrá el aguante...
Espero el sitio del concierto en Bogotá pueda ser diferente. Una banda de su calidad, merece más. Los esperamos en Colombia con Ilusión (Guiño, Guiño)
Amo la música de Soen y sueño con verlos tocar y que me firmen mis cds pero estoy en modo berserker (osea, no creo en nada ni nadie). Ver para creer porque mi entrada ya esta que le salen telarañas
Dont really care about wating, i just dont want the show to get canceled. Peru is waiting. By the way, the new álbum is awesome.

Stithering! And Cognitive is the best album, alongside Tellurian. It was a good era ๐๐ค I wish for a whole concert with only Cognitive songs ๐ป
Any chance this might see the light of day in vinyl format?
I can't believe it's been 9 years already... I was completely blown away by this album when it came out. It felt sophisticated but yet meaningful and really connected with me. It helped to go through some tough times as well. I was lucky enough to see you on this first tour opening for Paradise Lost in Madrid. And I gotta tell you, I couldn't care less about Paradise Lost, it was all about having the chance of seeing you playing live. You were kind enough to sign my copy, so that was a night to remember. Definitely one of the most impactful albums in my life! By the way, it's hard to choose a favourite song, but I think I will go along with Fraccions.
Oscillation. Because it was the very first song of yours that I ever heard, without even knowing Soen. Instant love. And the Cognitive wasn't even old, when I discovered it. Just a year and a bit.
Savia forever, it's the one that made me fall in love with you guys. Happy anniversary ๐
Savia and last light but so much awesomeness on one record. Would love to see a vinyl release of this one please. ๐โค๏ธ๐ถ๐ค
Never fought harder than this, I built my temple on this Pushing, fighting, bleeding, taking, giving Every second closer to the ceiling I will assemble all this, down to myy last broken piece Tension in the atmosphere is lower, gravity is slowly taking over... โค๏ธ
Complete album, has helped me cope with my mom's alzheimer... Thank you for dat... And looove DiGiorgio obviously haha
Canvas. Happy Birthday. We wanted on vinyl release.
Love the whole album. Hard to pick a favorite track, but "Last Light" and "Ideate" definitely stand out
It's all great. Any chance of a vinyl issue?
I love the whole album and my favorite song is Canvas. โค๏ธ
I listen to this album as if it were only one song, impossible to pick a favourite as it is a whole journey in itself. It will remain one of my favourite albums of all time ๐ค
Great album my favorite songs Fraccions, Oscillation and Last Light ๐ค๐ค
So many memories, such an amazing album and a brilliant tour. I'd give anything to turn back the clock and do it all over again โค
I love “Canvas”. But I love all your music actually! Happy birthday to “Cognitive”, from Bucharest, Romania ๐ท๐ด!
All songs are Ok The first album of a new band but is perfect
Last light. But the whole album is brilliant.
It was also great seeing you live in Tampere few years ago! ๐ Looking forward to next time!
I WANT A VINYL EDITION OF THIS ALBUM! AND TELLURIAN ASWELL! Have said it.
Purpose is my favorite song but the whole album is awesome
My favourite album. Really love every track! ๐ค๐ผโค
I’d like to get that amazing album in Apple Music here in México. I love Oscillation. ๐ค
Well yeah, the whole album is perfect. This is your magnum opus.
Last Light! One of the best albums in all my favorite albums list. Love it deeply, and love you guys as much. ๐ค
