aumgn is a different story. it's certainly among the strangest songs I've ever loved. I imagine experiencing it on psychedelics would be a severe mind-****. I suggest revisiting it when you feel you can give it a fair shake.

it's by no means flawless, but how many double LPs are?
I would say my cut off is after Halleluhwah now...it really doesn't start to get all that shaky until Aumgn. And since I finally got through it, I've found I actually like some of the stuff after Aumgn as well...that's just a tough song to get through for me (and with my extremely anal quirk of never skipping a song, I obviously can't just skip it haha).

I gave it one more listen today and I can safely say officially that Aumgn is the only song I'm still having issues with. So...yay Can! I also just downloaded Ege Bamyasi on Janszoon's recommendation, so I'll see how they sound elsewhere. I've just been stuck on Tago Mago because of this Aumgn nonsense.
