I've posted about it already in their main thread, but I'll just reiterate here that it's a great damn album. I think it shows more growth than people are letting on. They were faced with the challenge any shoegaze band has...how can you really expand on hazy fuzzed out layered-beyond-belief guitar music? Most of what can be done has been done. Their challenge was even harder since they technically kick started the whole thing. So with that, I think they exceeded themselves. It's actually better than I was expecting. They made a really smart move starting off very Loveless-like and then moved on into material that's a bit different. The middle and very end are phenomenal.
