"is it weird that F#A# barely left an impression on me but this album absolutely wowed me"
Not at all. Really hated that album for a while

Album Rating: 4.5
I had the same reaction, it took a few spins to get into f#a# but this knocks you off your feet instantly
|
| |
For me it was the opposite, f#a# only took a little while to click and I still feel like I don't fully "get" this one.

@Talons I'm too picky with my 5s. This one stands at 4.7.

Kompys I'm the same, F#A# almost immediately clicked while this one took years to grow on me.

I need more music similar to the 18+ minute mark in Storm

Idk how blasphemous this is but I really wish they would release versions of this and f#a# with the tracks properly divided up into songs. Hate having to check the goddamn Wikipedia article for this album every time someone mentions 'that part x minutes into sleep' or whatever.

Or you just listen to it so much that you know when each part starts and ends
|

I would be more open to that line of reasoning if there weren't literally pauses between movements on most of the f#a# tracks and even a few here, like I could see it if two or three tracks sort of melt into one another and can't really exist independently but fuck's sake, if it's literally three or four separate recordings mashed into one track why not just break it up and let the sequencing speak for itself? Again, this might be blasphemy to people who have been listening to this band for 20 years and have every second of the runtimes memorized to a tee, but it just seems to me like a needlessly obtuse way to format your album.

If you want those versions and know anything about audio editing, even at a basic level like me, you could always import the mp3s in Quicktime player, or better Audacity, and just break them up yourself and export each movement into its own mp3 file, then import into iTunes or whatever music library application you use. You could probably do it for F#A# and this album in like 20 minutes or less.

Oh yeah lol I have absolutely done that already, it's just a little extra work and anyone who doesn't do that is kind of thinking about the album in different terms, which can make it a bit harder to discuss. It's definitely a minor, petty complaint, obviously it's the same music either way, I just get hung up on stuff like this sometimes :p

I'm doing it right now actually cause you got me thinking about it. I think it's a good idea, cause most of the movements are silent in between each one and I like to know what they're all called.
They tend to bleed into each other more on this album though, which makes it more difficult to edit, especially Static and Antennas to Heaven.
