"Thank you for pointing that out, OmahaStylee. It's nice that you can disagree with the review and appreciate it too, I can definitely see where those who enjoyed this are coming from, as well."

People that don't appreciate reviews featuring different opinions are stupid, stupid people.

This is not drastically outside of the normal/accepted length for a review here. Some people stray towards a couple of paragraphs and it depends on the album in question but I thought this was just marginally too long - the first paragraph is probably part of the problem, since it takes a while to get stuck into the record. But yeah... good stuff.

Thanks for the tip. Like I said in the first paragraph, I know this is a little too long, it's the longest review I've written here. Usually I try to stay around 2 to 4 paragraphs, as I know I, personally, wouldn't often read something longer than that.

We had similar ratings for the album, but for, it seems, completely different reasons. In fact, I thought "The Whip Hand" and "Dyslexicon" were some of the weakest tracks on the album. Nevertheless, you defended your opinion well, and for that, you deserve a pos.

Thanks, sir. And that surprises me, I don't believe I've seen very much dislike for "The Whip Hand," at least.

Overall a good review, even though I don't agree at all. Just had one question:



"The lack of energy makes one suspect that TMV were simply exhausted after pouring so much energy into Goliath and, being recorded shortly after, Noctourniquet suffered because of it."



You do know there's an album in between those, Octahedron, right? I just can't tell if you forgot about it or have some information about when they recorded Noct that I don't.

I'm sorry, you're right- I had meant that this was recorded nearly at the same time as Octahedron. Thanks for pointing that out.
