Got this today. I really loved the first half but the second half falters imo.

This part is like the best half minute of music ever, the way they switch from that heavy riff to the stacatto muted syncopated bit is absolutely mindblowing. I love listening to it while stoned, it's great.

I have. And I was wrong. I still like the first half more though (Tonto owns).

Pixies was right to call this post-math rock cause its mathy but nothing come close to sounding how they do.

I heard their single one time and thought it was shit and I watched the music video again sometime after and loved the song.

Then I listened to the new album and realized we have a new math rock juggernaut.

I also love how Math-rock is picking up in popularity and quality of releases.

I listened to the whole album baked, I knew it was gonna be an experience so I waited to get high before listening.

I also did that for MTB POI because I think it leaves more of an impression on me.

Ya whats your IM CB?



I got one complaint now, I wish the Don Cab guitarist would let`er rip a bit more during this album.



I need to see more more riffage but I think it`s just cause I`m greedy.

This is really good record. It took me a long time to really love as opposed to just recognising the obvious talent they have.



I can see this being quite influential down the line.

bought this randomly today as it was half-price, having only heard "atlas" before, and i gotta say, i'm liking it. the vocal sounds are kinda annoying at times, but it sounds like the sorta album that's gonna grow on me over time.

This has to go with one of the weirder albums I've heard. Solid stuff, though.
