I must be in the minority who loves the opening track. Especially his voice shivering on the line ''How can one keep warm when one's alone?''

You not giving that extra 0.5 to monumental albums is redundant!!

For some reason the big moment hasn't happened for this one yet, even though I've spent many years with it already. I demand a personal connection from my 5.0s. That's what separates them from my 4.5s.

yeah dude, I totally get you. I was just pulling your leg. I have many monumental albums at 4.5 (e.g. Pink Floyd's Animals), exactly for this specific reason.

Haha, no worries! And yeah I relate hard with that Big Classics view. Very difficult sometimes too!

I love this from beginning to end, but the flow might be what causes that resistance to seeing it as perfect. As it stands, the album is top heavy with those first five amazing songs all placed together. It naturally makes the final third of the album a bit underwhelming, until Nowhere/Catastrophe at least. Perhaps We Are the Dead or Catalept should have been placed earlier in the first track list for balance.
Dead City Centres is awesome aside from those high-pitched whistles, often have to skip past that part. Maybe my ears are just sensitive but that's another little flaw that keeps this from perfection.

Ooh yeah that part is too much for me too. It actually hurts. Teachings In Silence has a bit of this too sadly. Weird decision on the band's part, but maybe all of the 'mixing and mastering' (if there was any to begin with) of Nattens has demolished their hearing for those frequencies so they aren't even aware that they're on the records at all.

are you guys listening with speakers or headphones? don't recall ever having had that issue
one comment about the second half being underwhelming: if you are comparing individual tracks sure the latter half has less bangers, but when listening to the album a-z, the huge buildup of the first 5 with the ridiculous sweeping outro of "the future sound of music" is exhausting, in a good way, but by the end of that track, the gentle ambient style of the subsequent three atmosphere tracks is perfect. and then it ends on another exciting banger. it's just constructed perfectly
