I didn't enjoy this record tremendously. I found it tiresome getting towards the end. I mean, there was no doubting that the ideas and music generally were decent, but an enjoyable listen? Far from.

I also found the vocals excruciatingly difficult to stomach. Sounded like Alvin and the bloody Chipmonks.

I haven't tried to make it all the way through this album, but I've listened to a couple songs off it and they were pretty good.

Good album, but their EPs were better.

[Rainard Jalen]

Another tragic latter-half-of-decade misfire. Why anybody would be listening to this when they could be listening to something really damn good like say, Neu! or Can, I have no idea whatsoever. Sure as hell beats me.

Finally heard this a few weeks ago.

I think I would best describe it solid , if not unspectacular.

I don't understand the hype over it and I don't really understand the hate either. This is got average written all over it.

Gaaaaaaaaaah, Stop It, Stop Comparing Every Prog Band Ever To Can, Stop It, Stop It, Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Average. There. The key word I'd been searching for. There is nothing in the slightest awe-inspiring about this record. I can't attribute finding this album amazing to anything aside from not having had much of a broad listening experience.

And boo boo I'm not "comparing every prog band ever to Can", I didn't even realize that was some sort of cliche. I was just pointing out that it seems odd to be raving over something plainly mediocre like this when there is such more remarkable stuff to be listening to.

Thank pitchfork for both.

I had a feeling that name would pop up sooner or later.
