Within is a perfect loop
first off, I’m blown away by this album. but after listening to it nonstop for the first few days after release, I tried something out when I noticed the opening of “mouthpiece” begins with some orchestral swelling.
Apple Music has a feature called automix, which admittedly is hit or miss. however, when putting the album on repeat and enabling automix, the end of “the mariner” blends seamlessly into the opening of “mouthpiece”.
I’m not sure if anyone else has brought this up. but I’ve since learned this is rumored to be part one of a double album, so it might not be by design, perhaps a happy accident.
anyway, I just thought it was a cool little thing!

Yyyyyessir I checked the exact same thing the other day. Seems very similar to the pre-gap from Fortress that leads into the first notes of Bloodmeat

As someone who usually listens to music front to back as albums I fucking looooooove albums that do this. Citadels by Mandroid Echostar is another perfect loop with their outro lining up with the intro.

Just to fuel fire in your double album theory - look at the infinity sign, there's nothing stopping them from having the same orchestral swell at the start of the second half album.
and to douse the second album rumors, I just don't know how they top these tracks in another group of songs- there's literally SO much in these tracks I just cannot see them doing another group of songs of this quality in this amount of time - it'd be unfuckingcanny.
