I'm a little bit confused by the long track as well. Does the guy really take so much pride in it that he thinks it should be the centerpiece of the album? It's fairly dull. The rest of the album is often great. A lot of synth-pop, and also a lot of ambient wanking in the 8+ minute songs. I don't mind hearing Olof's self-gratification because he usually jerks it skillfully. But I'm partial to the poppier parts, and there's enough of those here that I think I like this may be my favorite of their albums.
