Oh my, so many takes in this thread that I had to leave on the cutting room floor in order for this review not to turn into a 2 hour dirge. Thanks for the feedback all

Quick notes: I wish I stumbled upon wines' take that the unintended hilarity is endearing (can somebody please comment on that scream that kicks The Beggar into overdrive please); my personal rating started at about a 2.8 before a month's worth of Stockholm Syndrome led me here; please never take my recommended by reviewer panel as something that was particularly well thought through, this is quickly becoming a meme (gezan were a kneejerk response to the prompt "art rock but new and good"}; yes sowing, unfolding is gorgeous but also what is it doing here?

Finally, I'm devastated that I forgot to include a line a scrawled on a bit of scrap paper somewhere about Werner Herzog wearing a ten gallon hat

Just finished this and it's outstanding. Better than TBK and likely my 2nd favorite to The Seer.

“the big three” is referring to the Debut EP, Filth, and Cop.
