I listen to it from time to time. Mostly the opening track, which is a simply put mind-blowing song.

Their rhythm section is rediculously talented. If Omar didn't write all of the music, I would say they drums and bass are the best parts of this band, but without omar, you get nothing.



They really need to avoid the bullshit in their songs. It pisses me off when I'm listening to it and I have to skim through 4:00 to get to miranda. That is one thing I liked about De-loused, there was a lot less bullshit and when there was bullshit it was usually at the end of the song.

I'm sure Omar didn't write every piece of everything. I'd assume that he just did the basis for the instruments, and their respective player adjusted it accordingly. Otherwise would be silly.

Just got this album yesterday. It could quite possibly be the album of the year.

I returned this album after owning it for two months, it was that bad.



I think De-Loused is a good album, but I couldn't get into this. I never could understand how TMV got so much praise, there music just doesn't do much for me.

i think it's cedric's dance moves that wows the critics, he makes Michael Jackson look like a dead parapalegic guy with rigor mortis

Pitchfork also randomly is clingling onto mainstream rap and sparse and crappy indie. They are all idiots who are good at writing pretentiously.

Overall I prefer Deloused, but the two amazing tracks on here (Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus and L'via L'viaquez) make the cd great.

I think this is better than De-loused, and it easily deserves the highest rate it can get. Beautiful.

Hmm... The best moments are truly exceptional, but there's too much noise and pointless stuff for my taste.



Still a great album.



Widow is such a fantastically awesome song.

Heck no. It's awesome. I like the other songs too, but Widow is awesome, and mostly free of the annoying noise-ambience, that drags down the album, in my opinion (They should've gotten rid of the 2-minute of senseless noise in the end of Widow as well, in my opinion)
