Damn it's brilliant! That's mine.

    Didn't know it had dropped yet...is the album as different from the rest of their catalog as gobblediegook(sp?) is?

    Very cathartic as always. Seems a little more understated than the rest of their works, it sort of lingers with you. :)

    i like it, though it is not as moody as the last few. i kinda dug their epic, slowly unfolding soundscapes. this album is far more immediate, upbeat, and accessible. that's ok though, they were kind of due for a change.
