This album took the idea of space within music and crafted a set of songs that actually convey depth: you actually hear where an instrument is playing in the soundscape rather than just what it's playing.

The songs all have some good elements, and the band definitely shows that they at least have some musical skill. The music is very guitar-driven, and they show their creativity with myriads of little variations on the same riffs. Unfortunately, each song doesn't usually vary too much from a couple of dominant riffs with their little variations. There are no vocals, which works for the band, as the music alone is very atmospheric and sounds complete by itself. However, the songs are all way too long. Some take a while to get going, some drag on in the middle, some have overextended endings...regardless, there are often times when you wish a song would end, or you wish they would have decided to cram less into a song. All in all, this album presents a lot of good and pleasing material, but simply way too much filler and way too much repetition.

I don't think I'll ever forget listening to this album for the first time in high school after trying salvia, also for the first time. For about 5 minutes, I felt like I had a spiritual awakening, going to places in my mind I had never seen before or since. Then I realized the first song wasn't even finished and got something to eat.

One of my favorite post-metal bands is Pelican, so it would be fitting that this is one of my favorite post-metal albums.

100th rating! Overall a pretty generic post-rock/metal album.

It's too bad the mainstream metal world's mouth has been crammed so full of Isis's worm infested dick. Pelican do it twice as well, and they don't need the viagra either. Instead of the overly simple erect/flaccid dynamic utilized by so many bands of this ilk, Pelican opt for a more sweeping and complete sound, rarely wasting time on a buildup. Instead, they keep the listener entertained with a constantly shifting and evolving groove. I really like this, much more than I expected I would.

Very decent, i quite like it. Whoever likes this band should also check out ENVY.
