This album is frightening.

Not only because it sounds frightening, but for the things it does to me.

This is the most boring album I've ever listened to, but I can't go to sleep to it, and once I start it I HAVE to listen to it all the way to the very end. Oh, and it's entirely gripping.

There's nothing like it, and there will never be anything like it.

Great review, and im going to have to agree with you about the album. Its without a doubt the greatest, or the greatest post-rock album.

It just perfectly sums up everything post-rock is about.

You know I finally got around to downloading this last night and I was stunned at how perfect it was. I tried to DL it a couple of months ago but the file was messed up so I never got back to it until last night. Let's just say I'll be picking up and listening to the rest of their discography today as soon as I can.

It is a remarkable record. And a perfect review I may add. Theres not much to add to whats been said so top marks.

Its one of those records I'm not sure I'll ever get my head around as I get something new from it every time round.
