This and Cryptopsy's None So Vile are the benchmarks with which I judge all other tech-death

Last.fm tells me I come back to Focus every 4-5 years to scratch my head and remember why I do not like it again. In theory I should like Focus but the song-writing is such a mess and the goddamn effected robot vocals so cheesy, it is really a test just to go through 40 minutes. Good individual moments do not save the entity. Even with a cup of coffee I feel sleepy. Focus was influential in it's time for sure but its not for everyone. One of the first progressive death metal albums i've listened too, tho listening it now, it's mostly pretty far from death metal.

Неординарно, джазово, охуительно. И это 1993 год блядь.. кажется альбом будет вечно актуален.

I think Opeth and Cynic are both creating a new Progressive Metal/Rock genre. I like this new wave of Progressive music.

End of Jason Gobel's quote : "... I would have kept some of the heavier vocals also. We were all A-type personalities and writing Focus was a battle at times and with us heading in different directions musically, going further together would have been tough. It makes me happy to see Cynic is going strong and wish them all the success in the world. My time in Cynic was a wonderful part of my life and I have cherished memories of those times over rated or under rated. I will say it brings me great joy to see how Focus has held up as an album for so many years and I am so greatful for all the continued love and support from all our fans. Thank you all so much. Best regards to all!! Jason Gobel "

AWESOME : Tymon Kruidenier got Jason Gobel to talk about his contribution to Focus being underrated or not. " Wow, Thank you Tymon and thank you to everyone for all your kind comments. Under rated or not has never been to important for me. When playing in Cynic we never cared what people thought, we just played what we wanted and what we felt had integrity and quality. As far as forming the sound on "Focus" I was absolutely a contributor. I wrote fifty percent of the music on that album and painstakingly formed the structures of those songs with Paul and Sean. Because Paul was the singer (frontman) I do feel people believed he was the heart of all the music but it was a equal contribution. Lyrically was all Paul. As far as continuing with Cynic, I don't think it would have worked. Paul and I were heading in different directions musically. I was still into keeping a heavier edge may be a bit funkier and odd metered which is not the direction the new Cynic went. .... "
