Relistened. Better than I remember (ending always sends shivers too) but last third of Lamb's Breath completely loses me to the point where I literally forgot I was listening to this

glad that you gave it another shot. Anyway, the Lambs/Asunder transition haunts me a lot. i think that segment of silence it's an interesting choice and it makes the whole thing darker than what i thought in the first place. It prepares to reach the peak of the album, which imo is Asunder Sweet around the 4th minute

I would have prefered if it was actual silence. I love me some hours of drone and field recordings but the way they weave it in the movement just awkwardly stops the momentum dead in its tracks towards a tired idea. All the power to you if you dig it of course.
I'll agree on Asunder though, really love how its picks things back up, it's seamlessly smooth and has a decrepid might wich gives the perfect context to launch down the Piss Crown. Haven't thought about it as the peak moment here but now that you mention it..
