Ugh the vocals drive me nuts on this album.
Shut up, Toby. Every vocal section needs to be replaced by a Greg Massi guitar solo and the album would be a 5.

i generally agree with the criticisms but i don't think it ruins the album like this reviewer thinks it does. i think it just makes it more challenging and pensive and less engaging on the surface.

As much as I don't like this as much as their previous albums, this is still above and beyond what most other people are doing right now. Even if some of the tracks don't seem to hold together as songs, there is a lot of value in the collection of awesome, interesting moments throughout the album.

just because it's more interesting than most music out there doesn't excuse it from being crappy

the sow submits is such an awful song. It's just random poor chord choices pretending to be "challenging"... I find a lot of this album pretending to be challenging. Thank God for Symmetrical Arizona and Clelia Walking home, or my rating would be way lower.

Symmetrical Arizona and sometimes the first track are all I can stomach. And Awkward Wind Wheel if I'm feeling ambitious.

I don't see what's with all the hatred, I enjoy this album quite a bit.

I find the record just has nothing to grab on to. It's one thing to be progressive, but the sheer atonal quality of it all plus Toby's worst vocal performance ever make this almost unbearable. The reason I like the tracks I do are because they're the only ones that seem to have any direction.

the best thing about this record is that it proves Toby is going to continue progressing, and he's not going to put out the same album twice. It would be so easy for him to release album after album of post metal/classical style with these huge build ups that everyone loves, but he's not going to do that, clearly.
secondly, the record's most unifying characteristic is its refusal to adhere to any sort of songwriting standard. the record is basically a lot of sounds tumbling all over one another, most fading away meekly. There is almost no sense of "climax" at all to be found, which is exactly why you feel there is nothing to grasp on to--even the end of the record just sort of tapers away ponderously, in the way most of the sounds on the album do.
In that way I've grown to love it because in a sense all it does is ask questions, without ever providing any answers. That's a bold move, and one that 99.5% of people are going to reject.
