Outstanding review. I'm listening to this right now, and it is pretty good. To think I was going to pass on this...
"I think more people would like the ambient parts if the album was tracked better or if they had cut the times on a few of them"
You are right- Track sequencing can be critical, and especially in this case it can help to sustain the momentum, or to dose the effect. I do not mind the ambient parts, but I do feel they break the album's flow at times. It is a minor complaint.

This does lack a certain amount of cohesion but for a debut that shows this much talent, can hardly fault them for it.

My one and only gripe with this is the production. Too shrill for me :/
I completely agree with this. I wish it sounded a bit more pristine.

i do like the ambient parts in this album, its simply too long tho and too much of it.

Like other people have said, the only complaint I have with this is the ambient tracks being way too long. Other than that everything is fantastic. And yes, the cleans are fucking amazing.

It's not that it's bad by any means, just a little too long for it's own good. Still not a major flaw.

A new post-metal heavyweight? Well, guess I'll have to listen to this then.
