Their early work is more like what you expected, it's incredibly abrasive. I'm glad you liked it though, I figured that you would because it's hard to hate such an incredible record but I've been surprised before. To answer your question, yes it is a species of drone, with post-rock being the overarching genre.

You do realise you're talking to a prog head, yes?
Also, thanks: I thought that might be some sort of drone all right.

Oddly enough, I didn't find any of it overstretched. Not even the 34-minute one.

This is totally incorrect. it is one of the hardest albums to appreciate. Ever. Some of it is just talking and effects. I am NOT looking forward to revisiting this for "I know what I like"....

You won't regret it. If a pussy like me can like it, anyone can.
